Our brief 24-hour stopover in Salzburg was filled with an endless stream of seasonal Christmas moments. Time and time again we found ourselves wandering through scenes we'd swear had been lifted from almost every classic Christmas card we've ever received. I'll post more details shortly, but this initial selection of images should speak for themselves. It really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
UPDATE
Highlights of our time in Salzburg included a tour of Fortress Hohensalzburg, an imposing stone castle that stands watch over the old town below. This outing was then followed by a wander through the Christmas markets after dark.
The market fills the old town's central market square offering many of the same trinkets and seasonal snack food we saw in Vienna earlier in the week. It was here that we met my brother Hamish and my niece Steffi who then gave us a ride to Kitzbuhel where we'll be based for the next few days.
Last night we enjoyed an eclectic evening meal in an old merchant house. As we dined we were entertained by a string quartet playing Mozart classics under the limbs of an enormous Christmas tree.
