The Hills are Alive!

Saturday we went to Salzburg - home of The Sound of Music - with the students!

We visited the tunnel at Mirabell Gardens...you may remember it from this scene in the movie:



We spent the afternoon at Hohensalzburg Castle...which you may remember from this scene:



It was our first time going up to the castle and we loved it!  The views were absolutely amazing!





Construction of the castle began in 1077.  According to Rick Steves, it is the largest and best preserved Medieval Fortress in Europe. 


Our day trip to Salzburg ended with ice cream on the river!  
We've really got to teach Francis which end of the cone to start with ;)
