This was one of my memories that didn't remain very clear. I seem to have had Salzburg and Vienna confused. We enjoyed our time in this little river city and walked the center where Mozart's statue always reminds you of where you are. We saw where he lived and where he spent his days. We went into an old French church - very beautiful, and saw an original student art show from the university. We stopped in the main square, faced Mozart, and drank local beer in his honor. We shopped in all the little stores and found me a purse - imagine - Jo with a purse. But that's beside the point. Here's the point - it's a purse from Paris which we found in Austria on sale. Couldn't do that in Paris!!!
In the pm we took off to head for Munich again and our new hotel. We walked the streets, getting lost of course, and then asked a stranger for directions to a good local stube or restaurant. It sure helps to have G along with the German. We had supper in a small neighbourhood German husband/Yugoslavian wife restaurant. Whaooo, was it good and were they ever friendly. We enjoyed them so much and they both came out to talk to us when they found out we were from out of town. They fed us free snapps - with cherries on the bottom - and she stood there until I would finish the little bottle of fire. We gave them Cdn pins of course and we exchanged addresses. Hugs and kisses all around again before we left. What a wonderful way to end off the bus tour's last night.
This third bus tour gave us the most unusual sights and places for our money. It was G's favourite. Not mine, of course, for reasons that I don't have to tell you about. Again, we would never have done it without a bus tour to help us along.
