Salzburg Rest Day 1

Salzburg is a city that truly captivates the heart. From its stunning palaces and gardens to its rich musical heritage, there’s so much to discover. We started our day with a peaceful stroll through the Mirabell Palace gardens, and later enjoyed a delicious Apple strudel. We also learned about the history of the city and its famous landmarks, including the Sound of Music spots and the homes of Mozart. Despite the delay in our laundry, we still had a great time exploring and making unforgettable memories.

Budapest Rest Day

Our guided walking tour of Budapest was an unforgettable experience, with Alexandra as our passionate guide. We explored iconic sites like St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the Parliament Building, and learned about Hungarian history. The tour ended with a delightful lunch and a delicious chimney cake.

Bratislava to Gyor

We arrived in Gyor, a charming city with a rich history. We stayed in a former monastery and were surprised to find AC in our room. We also did some laundry and enjoyed a delicious dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Bad Deutsch-Altenburg to Bratislava

We took an alternate route to Bratislava via Schloss Hof, the largest country palace in Austria. We arrived at 10 AM and felt like we had the place all to ourselves. We wandered the palace and the extensive gardens, which were breathtaking. I took a lot of video, but some settings got changed on the camera, making the video for the rest of the day appear washed out.

Vienna – St. Stephan’s Cathedral and Schonbrunn Palace

Our day in Vienna started early with a visit to St. Stephan’s Cathedral, where we lit candles for our grandchildren and explored the beautiful public areas. After a short Uber ride to Schonbrunn Palace, we enjoyed an informative guided tour of the historic site, followed by a leisurely stroll through the vast gardens.
