In the morning, we went to the fortress above Salzburg on the funicular. It was a lot of fun - great views with an interesting museum on middle ages life in Salzburg. There was also a very strange marionette museum that Rick recommended. Not a fan - extremely creepy and just super strange. I don't get the marionette fascination. I know a lot of people who have issues with clowns. I don't have that hang up. I do have a weird fear of marionettes. They just creep me out to no end. We also got soup and pretzels on the terrace overlooking the mountains, which was great fun, other than the bird incident which my dad took one for the team on. Poor dad, that bird had a lot inside of it itching to get out.
I'm going to do a separate post for the afternoon. Hint: the hills are alive!
That evening, we went to the middle of the city to hear a band festival and enjoy some chicken and beer. I had a hard time getting the chicken because a ton of guys in lederhosen kept pushing me out of the way. I finally got assertive and pushed my way to the front - lederhosen or not, no one stands in the way of me and food while on holiday.
Overall, Salzburg gets a 9 out of 10 on my scale. It could do with a bit more accessibility, but what a city. It's on my repeat weekend list.
