Berchesgaden

We finallY found a decent internet cafe in which to sit, reasearch, do our banking and type! The last one we tryed to go into was 3 dudes, obviously intoxicated sitting on beanbag chairs blasting some german hiphop and all around the one computer... Yikes! I think Wifi is taking over the idea of the Internet Cafe but luckly there are still a few of us chumps that bought Windows PC's that will eventualy need to use a cafe haha. Ok enough about that.

Salzburg
Were to start? Well we had a really good time in salzburg although accomidation was tough to find and we had to move hotels between the first and second night. We despite my objections went on the sound of music tour which was a 4 hour bus ride with stops along the way. To my suprise a pretty fun way to see the city and the area around it, the tour guide was hilarious, which made for a really good time. Cristelle was singing along to the soundtrack that they were playing on the bus, it was very cute. We leared alot about the #behind the scenes# and what to look for next time we watch the movie, as well as a lot about the history of salzburg. We also stummbled upon a concert at the Dumo which was an orcherstra, full choir and 4 operatic singers playing Mozarts (salzbrug is Mozart's birthplace) Requiem...and we got in for 1/2 price as it had just begun when we got there!

Innsbruck
Innsbruck was great! the weather shaped up the second day we were there so we made it up the mountian, it was gorgeous! At one point we sat and watched a cloud make it#s way up the mountian right towards us and then completely take over our view! A very peacfull place to be. We also went to the Alpine Zoo which was basicly a hike partialy up and down the mountian and a few animals along the way...we definatly burned off some goulache and spatzle fat that day! Speaking of which we#ve had some really great meals and some not so good, a highlight would be Cristelle had a footlong currywerst wiener and mine is every time i#ve eaten goulache. I am goulache crazy! goulach soup, with beef, with onlY mushrooms...doesn#t matter I will eat every last bite haha.

Today
We're in Berchesgaden, Germany right now which is quite close to salzburg and is a little mountian city, which is a good place to rest up before Munich.
Today we took a bus, then an elevator to get to the top of a mountian...thats right an elevator that is inside a mountian and brings you to the top where Eagles Nest is located; hitlers hidaway during the war. We walked partialy down the mountian and the walk was amazing all kinds of different flowers, plants, bugs and what a view! We then picked up some groceries and had supper at the hotel, which we multitasked with doing our laundry downstairs...and about time! our bags were starting to smell like Cody's hockey bag... haha kidding nothing can smell that bad. Tomorrow we make our way to Munich so we will post again soon!
