Yesterday we entered our alpine portion of the tour. Our first stop was a Neuschwanstein, the fairytale castle that is the most photographed castle in Germany, if not all of Europe.
After some time to take some beautiful pictures, we continued across the border into Austria, traveling through the Fernpass to the Olympic city of Innsbruck. We spent a couple of hours in the old town, and then went to the Olympic ski jump to enjoy the view from the top.
Finally, we continued on to our hotel near Salzburg. Today we are on a city tour of Salzburg. Actually, the group is touring as I type with Manfred, the best city guide in the city. This picture is of the group on the steps of Mirabel Gardens, where the "Do-Re-Mi" song from the "Sound of Music" was filmed. The group has seen the home where Mozart was born, and in a few moments I will go outside from this Internet cafe to meet them at the Mozart statue.
All is well, and the kids are being great ambassadors. The lady whose family owns the hotel we stayed at in Oberammergau told me they were truly well behaved and impressive kids. (She said most student groups are not so well behaved, and she was truly impressed with them.)
