July 21-22 Salzburg
Travelled from Selva to Salzburg. What fun. 7:15am bus to Waidbruck. Transfer to bus to Brixen (made it by 2 minutes --- whew, barely made it). In Brixen we had to speed walk over the river to the train stop and had 2 minutes to spare. Geez this is getting interesting. Train to Innsbruck where we transferred to Salzburg.
Well, ALMOST. Got onto the wrong train (right track, right time, wrong train). Local college kid new enough English to let us know ... this train is not LONG enough for the train to Salzburg. Must be the next one. We chose to believe him. He was correct. Had a great conversation --- they know more about our culture and politics than we do. He know about all the Democratic candidates and was convinced the American people would overwhelming vote that way due to the decisions of the current administration. We could not argue.
At the border the train stopped and the kid explained that the electrical system was different in Austria and they had to switch engines. Interesting.
Arrived by 2pm and proceeded to walk about a mile to our next Bed and Breakfast. The main street from the train station to the river is Jahnstrabe (Jahn Street) so had fun taking some pics. One lady looked at us kind of funny and I attempted to say Jahn was my name. She replied I´m married and immediately went back into her apt and closed the door. What did I say?
