Salzburg (part two)

July 31, 2006

We were the bad family on the bus tour. We all refused to sing Sound of Music songs with our tour guide. Dad was especially uninvolved and grumbled a bit about being on a movie tour. Mom was excited about the tour at first, but quickly became more interested in the mountains and lakes we saw on our bus stops.

Despite the grumbling, we still agree it was a good idea. We saw a lot of Salzburg and the surrounding area. We wouldn’t have seen those things otherwise. We are not the kind of self-directed travelers who could fill a day with our own planned schedule of sights.

There is talk of skipping Füßen and just spending a few more days exploring the mountains. We are planning on taking the Eagle’s Nest tour tomorrow morning. This will take us up to the top of one of the mountains by bus and some kind of mountain side lift. If we feel there’s more to do, we’ll stay put.

I have no idea where my father is, but I know Mom went for a bike ride. I am limping around downtown with a sore foot.
