…day one in salzburg…

okay, let it be known… this keyboard thing is going to drive me insane, seeing as all the keys are in different places. grrrr.

i spent the day leisurely taking mý time getting ready yesterday as my flight to salzburg wasn’t till 6:30pm. getting to stanstead was easy enough, but talk about breaking one’s budget and i hadn’t even began yet. oi!

got to stanstead and was bored quite quickly seeing as i had hours to kill before my flight, but slowly it passed. thanks ashe for keeping me company.

got to salzburg airport without any hassle, and the bus stop was right there. got to my hostel without a hitch. unfortunately i got to my room too late and everyone was asleep so i had to sort of make my way in the dark…which could have been a huge blessing if the place was gross, praise god, it wasn’t. had a little trouble sleeping, new environment and all that, but slept enough to wake up extremely early to greet the beautiful surroundings of salzburg austria. this place is amazing. i love it.

what was the first thing i did, you ask…as if you have to – the sound of music tour…of course. it was soooo cool. had a blast. met a couple of tourists and that was fun. i realise i love my on company…i have so much fun just wandering around aimlessly. after the tour i literally sat in the mirabell garden for hours just soaking in the atmosphere before doing a little more touristy things.

tomorrow i’m planning to take destiny into my own hands…as far as where i go and how i go. i was going to jump on a tour bus but i bought a map today and thought it might be more fun to do it that way. wish me luck. i haven’t done too badly so far. i did miss my stop by four this evening as i headed back to the hostel…oopsie daisy! but i didn’t panic. i just got off, crossed the road and hopped back on a bus…had to wait like twenty minutes, but hey, that’s what shuffles are for.

anyways, i want to jump in the shower before the sound of music starts…they play it like every nigth at 8pm. might try and see a mozart show tomorrow evening or take a cruise. hmmm…

hope everyone is well… take care. love lots.
