We spent our last half-day in Salzburg visiting the fortress. It’s a main attraction in Salzburg and can be viewed from anywhere in the city. We took some beautiful shots of Salzburg from the top, and we had to take a train just to get up there. I thought, “Oh we can just walk up! Save some money! But Hillary wisely told me it was too steep, scary, and we would be exhausted.”

We also went on a horse-drawn carriage ride. I have been telling Hillary I wanted to go on one in Copenhagen for months, and we finally decided to go. We took a relaxing, scenic trip around the city.
Then, it was getting late, so we needed to head to the train station, buy our tickets to Prague and get on the train. In a momentary lapse of judgment, we decided to walk to the train station with our backpacks and suitcases. We followed the map for about thirty minutes when we realized we did not know where we were going. Then we dragged them another twenty minutes in the right direction. It was so frustrating! Words of advice: Just get a bus pass to get to the train station in Salzburg. So we arrive at the train station to find that our train has just left. We missed it by 10 minutes. We bought our tickets and found that we couldn’t leave until 4:00. So what do we do with two hours of free time?? … Have ice cream sundaes!!!
At least it was beautiful while we were lost!
