Day 34...Sat 26th Feb...

Remember this is a blog & it updates backwards! Go to the bottom and find the first post if you want to get the gist of this in sequence...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Heading off on a walking tour of the Mirrabelle Gardens & Palace where some of Sound of Music was filmed.
Anyone for nibblies?




Entry to the Mirrabelle Gardens...but look...what is that red in the doorway?



Lo & behold! A wedding in progress. How lucky was I? It looks almost as tho' I planned this shot!










The Gardens from the last shots...nice wedding setting.



Still ice in the fountain. This is where the kids & julie Andrews danced around in Do-Ray.Me...



Kissy Time!



These poor little Panzies withstand the snow...It's still melting on them!






This part of the gardens is roped off for the winter. How scary are those trees!












People sit in the sun on every chair available!









There are seats all along here on left. People filled every seat.






Trimming the trees for summer.









Pretty Buildings in Salzburg...



The fortress, from the Gardens...



Watch that doggy!



OOOPs!...Tree? What tree? I thought you said "pee"



The side of the Mirrabelle Gardens.









Look how they spell Jeweller...






Very active Classical programme here for a small town of only about 150,000 people.









This street is full of banks! These beautiful buildings are mostly banks...






So many locals out strolling in the Winter sunshine. About 3C to-day






Note the people sitting on the rocks (on the beach) in the freezing river bed!






A good shot of the Fortress...






Back again to the back of the Palace & the red wedding party is still in progress...


















Sunny enough to sit on the grass with short sleeves.



Wedding party still going!



The Restaurant where I had the Glass of bubbles, after taking pics all afternoon...






OK!



Look at this. It's 3 C & Cafe people are sitting outside in the sun...



I couldn't resist a choc cake made without wheat flour!



...and the obligatory cup of coffee!



I didn't like to suck up his face!



Then his eye disappeared....



The culprit! Check out the size of the cup!



No wonder Grimm's Fairy Tales come from over this way. Look at the help they have to create hobgoblins & trolls!



Not many drunks around here! The trees frighten them sober...



The front (side) entrance to the Hostel in Salzburg.
