There are no kangaroos in Austria

From Venice we headed to Salzburg to stay in a very large youth hostel that lived up to it's name. The place was over run with school children. We were given a room right at the back of the hostel and couldn't hear any noise at all so that was very good. The hostel was very well run and had excellent breakfasts.

Mel suggested that we do the "Sound of Music" tour. Slightly corny but "why not?". It was actually quite good. The church used in the movie for the wedding (not the real life church) is situated in the town of Mondsee. Thus, the tour was by bus. Significant buildings from the movie were pointed out and we got to drive through the beautiful countryside.

They did put the soundtrack on whilst we were in the bus and a few people sung along. Quite a laugh really.

Salzburg is quite pretty and the Austrian scenery is great. We would have liked to have seen more of Austria but time was running out.
