Stories - travels in Salzburg

Quick story. We arrive at the B&B at 2pm. Barry stayed here 4 years ago and knew the family. Nobody home so we drop our packs and head to town (about a 2 mile walk). Spent several hours getting the layout, a bite to eat, etc. Returned to B&B --- nobody home. BUT the 3rd floor of the house was open and we knew that was our room. Unpacked, showered, hung out the clothes, etc. Bridgette arrives home about dark, looks up and I say HI from the window. She kind of freaks --- who are you? I showed her the confirmation email and she apparently did not recall. But, once we worked through that she was a very gracious host and treated us fantastic. I believe the main problem was that in Europe all the floors are off by one. Example, the 1st floor for us is really the ground floor for them. Therefore, we were actually in the WRONG room. We were in their Apartment. The actual room she had for us was very tiny. But, no one had reserved the apt so she let us use it. Full kitchen, extra bedroom, very nice.

We definitely need an easy day. Steve has some pretty bad blisters and our feet/legs are pretty trashed. However, we wouldn´t have changed anything to this point.

Rented BIKES. Awesome tour of town, nearby hills, forts, beautiful gardens, plazas, fine dining, street performers, the works. A day to remember.
