Romantically Beautiful Salzburg

                                              
Haus Ballwein
Moosestrasse, Salzburg



Since we’re south of Salzburg, we decide to check out zimmers on Moosestrasse (recommended by Rick Steves).   We secured an apartment at Haus Ballwein by 10 a.m. and we were on the bus into the city at noon (bus stop is in front of the zimmer).  This is a first for us!  Salzburg is a very easy, compact city to roam about in.  Steve plants himself at McD’s while I go shopping and explore the city.   The daily market has lots of great things, however, you can only purchase so much to bring home.  Plus, there are restrictions on food items.  We do, however, find a Tabak shop and purchase another pipe for Steve.  I also find a print of Salzburg to add to my collection at home.  Bus #21 takes us back to our zimmer.  We drive into Grodig, have dinner and meet another group of Canadians.  Steve had his fourth meal of wiener schnitzel and pays for it the next day—too much oil.

Looking out of our balcony window, we see a deer roaming around the garden.   Here, on the outskirts of Salzburg, the stars are very bright and the night is still and quiet.  Such a lovely location.
