Wed, Aug 1: Salzburg, then drove to Zell am See, Austria

Hotel (1 night): Hotel Heitzmann




We took a Sound of Music tour from 9:30 am - 1:30 pm.  The tour visited filming sites that were outside of Salzburg:  the two houses used – one for the front and inside shots, one for the garden and lake;  the gazebo, with the oldest and youngest on the tour posing – Phyllis and a young girl;  the church the wedding was filmed in;  the line of trees the kids were hanging from.

We were back in Salzburg for lunch in old town, and then took a taxi to the airport to pick up the car around 4:00 pm. 

We drove to Zell am See ("am See" means “on the lake”) via Route A10.  We stopped on the way at a church and cemetery for photos.

We arrived in Zell am See at approximately 6 pm.  The hotel was very good, but parking was tight.  The car could not fit in front of the hotel, so another guest moved his small car to the front, and Paul parked in his spot in the back.  Paul had to move it after 9 pm and park in the cook's spot until morning. 
 
There was a festival just down the block from the hotel.  We walked around, listening to the music and browsing the food stalls and various other stalls with things to buy.  We always appreciate local festivals and street markets.
