When Hillary and I were planning our trip, we wanted to go to Switzerland to do some kind of adventure sports like skydiving or paragliding, but sadly, we could not fit that trip into our journey. We walked into our hostel in Salzburg and saw a brochure for adventure sports in Salzburg, and we got so excited. We went up to the main desk, and the lady called to see if the weather was nice enough to go paragliding, but it wasn’t. We tried the next day, and we still couldn’t go. Now, Hillary and I have decided that we have unfinished business in Salzburg and must return one day.
We found a tour to the Bavarian mountains in Germany and decided to go for it. Salzburg is extremely close to the Austrian-German border, so our tour guide picked us up and we drove right across it. The day was very foggy, and we did not get the best views but stopped at some quaint, pretty German towns. Our tour guide was another interesting character. His wife treated him terribly, took his money and kicked him out of their home, and he decided to visit Austria. He met an Austrian woman and has been living there ever since with her. He was nice and recommended a restaurant where we could get traditional Austrian food for dinner. We had a wonderful feast of schnitzel, soup, potatoes, and salad. The lady was very patient with us since the whole menu was in German, and we did not know what half of the food was. In case you don’t know what schnitzel is, here’s the wikipedia quick link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnitzel.
That night, Hillary and I decided to check out the nightlife in Salzburg. Well, there was not too much since it was a Tuesday, but we happened to stumble onto a salsa club. We had to go in and check it out. We walked in, and there were all these couples doing complicated salsa moves. Hillary and I headed to the dance floor, and she taught me a little.
