Honeymoon Day 7 ~ Salzburg - Vienna (30 Jan 09)

Day 7, basically in the itinerary from Reliance, there was no activity for today besides travelling all the way from Salzburg to Vienna. Thus, they came out with two optional tours, the extension of Sound of Music and the opera theathre at night. Well, it sounds silly to have another optional tour for the extension sound of music, why they just can't include in yesterday's Sound of Music tour? And, you have to pay 30 euro for this extension tour. And, if you didn't join this tour, you will have NOTHING to do for the whole day, except travelling. Sigh, pay la pay la. Marketing skills huh?

The extended Sound of Music was also at Salzburg.




Wedding Church Mondsee
In Mondsee Cathedral the film wedding between Julie Andrews as Maria and Christopher Plummer as the Baron took place.




Hellbrunn Castle
This hunting castle was built in the early 17th century by Prince-Archbishop Markus Sittikus. In the gardens the glass pavillion was reconstructed for the pleasure of those fans still returning after 30 years.

Resting after a long walk ... hahaha.






Sound of Music Gazebo and the setting for the famous "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" song.



Leopoldskron Castle
The front side of the castle was used as the Trapp family home, the children were boating on the Leopoldskron Lake and fell into the water. The Venetian room was copied from the castle and used as the ballroom.

We were actually stepping on a frozen lake. This lake was fabulous in spring time....
