Salzburg, Austria - January 2006

April: Our last stop before going to Poland for Royce's new job was Salzburg, Austria. We splurged a little and stayed at a nice place on the hill that overlooked the city. It lended a spectacular view of the fireworks displayed to bring in the new year. We attempted to ski in Salzburg, but were disappointed by rain and mediocre terrain. We also toured the salt mines, treated ourselves to massages, and had some wonderful Indian food for New Years. It snowed more than it had in 30 years while we were there, so we were fairly limited with what we could do. The funniest thing that happened took place when our taxi driver could not make it up the hill to our hotel one night. Instead he dropped us off 2 miles from it, in the snow and freezing temperatures, and took off. We had to knock on doors and have someone call the hotel so we could get picked up. Just another day in the life I guess...
