Salzburg, Mozart and a few surprises...

What a lovley Friday! I took off the day, to spend it with my cousin Felicitas in Salzburg. Salzburg, arguable the most famous sight of Austria, with the birthplace of Mozart and the infamous family Trapp and the Sound of Music. At first it looked like a rainy day, but when we arrived in Salzburg the sun started to shine and my cousin went to her class at the University while I was exploring the city on my own. We went shopping with a friend of Felicitas in the afternoon, but the main purpose to come to Salzburg was to go to a festival called “Salzburger Oktoberfest” for graduates with some friends. At first we went to the wrong place, but we where able to find the right one, a fantastic restaurant with a senic view in the historic district. There was an obgliatory speech at the beginning, but fortunatley it did not take very long and the buffet was opend. And it was quiet a buffet! I was very impressed by the band, which had an amazing programm with music from all around the world. Felicitas was engaged with business and sience talk, while I was busy making new friends. Around 11 pm they had a very hot “fire dance” show and after that to cool down “Mozart liquer” on the rocks. Mozart liquer is like Baileys, just Austrian, and of course – better. I actually never had a Bailys kiss, but I doubt that it can top a Mozart Liquer kiss! Around midnight it was time for a Bavarian tradition, “Weisswurst”. Normaly a tasty breakfast to start the day, (served with sweet mustard and pretzles) it marked the end of a lovley evening. At least the formal part… I wrote about the Muenchner Oktoberfest a while ago and now that I compare these two events, I have to admit that Salzburg knows how to celebrate too.
Thanks Felicitas ;-) for the wonderful Salzburg experience!
