No Eurotrip is complete without seeing some family, right?
I visited an extended cousin I hadn't seen in... 15-20 years, I really couldn't tell ya. Since they have small kids, they couldn't exactly bring me around the city, so I did some exploring on my own. I have nothing against that, I do enjoy alone time and being able to take pictures without feeling like I'm stragling behind too much. And I can go climb mountains without people getting tired behind me. I went to the famous Salzburg fortress/castle/schloss on the mountain and got a little tour. That castle also has a puppet museum within it.. I can't wait to post pictures to compliment my posts on here. The Altstadt/Oldtown is quite cutesy, though touristy. I enjoy the fact that people casually wear lederhosen around here.
Later on, another cousin of mine picked me up and we saw some other things in Salzburg such as Mozart's home (it closed right when we got there), Palace of Mirabel/Wasserspiele (lots of gardens, fountains, royalty - The Sound of Music had some scenes here), Basilika Maria Plain on the Calvary Hill, Red Bull Plane/Hangar museum.
My time there was short lived, but I also wanted to return to my home of four months, that is, Berlin.
