As we were entering Salzburg by train, my mind was already firm with a conclusion: Salzburg is my favourite city in this trip.
Never mind that we are only halfway through the trip and we still have the whole of Switzerland that we haven’t seen. But how can you not declare your undying love for a place when coming in the city by train you pass through green hills and mountains studded with small cottages? Also, this was the city where the Sound of Music was filmed, a movie that I practically grew up with. So my premature conclusion was perfectly justified, really.
Immediately in my mind, I was humming the lyrics of ‘My Favourite Things’ from the Sound of Music.
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kitten
Bright copper kettle and warm woollen mitten
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favourite things…
We were greeted by sunny weather and clear blue sky, a perfect weather for us to go about the city in bikes. We had places reserved for all of us with the Frauhlein Maria Bike Tour, and check out the post card view that I snapped at the start of the tour.
Everything was perfect.
Up until the point when we saw ominous clouds approaching when we were at one of the squares.
