Day 10 - Munich to Salzburg

Our first stop today was Kehlsteinhaus - Eagle's Nest (Hitler's summer house). The trip up the mountain was breath taking (in more ways than one). The driver being very familiar with the many hairpin bends seemed to travel at a hair raising pace. The sheer drops were really quite scary. Once up the mountain you ascend through the granite in a brass elevator to the actual house, which is now a restaurant. Stephen and I climbed to the top of the peak for a better view of the mountains and to take photos. Spectacular really doesn't do it justice. 

A short 45 minute bus ride and we were in Salzburg. Wow!!! I think this might just be my favourite of all. What a magnificent city. Our fabulous local guide Isabella took us on a walking tour in the afternoon, however, I really would have liked more time to explore the many laneways, shops, etc. 

The other fun thing was visiting the many sites that are so familiar because they were used in the movie, The Sound Of Music. The hills really are alive!!!

We finished off what was a great day with our farewell dinner at St. Peter's - the oldest restaurant in Europe. It was opened in 803!!! Tomorrow half the group  head to Vienna for two nights and the other half go onto Budapest to board their cruise ship.
