我們來到薩爾斯堡，有美景，有曆史，有名人，我無可救藥地喜歡上了奧地利。我問女兒哪個地方更好，瑞士還是奧地利？都漂亮，但是瑞士有天鵝。。。瑞士當然也美，以我的標準來看，過於商業化了一些。。。兒子在就好了，天平的一端就可以翹起來了。
米拉貝爾花園建於1606年，是大主教為他鍾愛的情人建造的。他們一共生了15個孩子，其中10個活了下來。這座花園是巴洛克風格，幾何對稱設計，設有神話主題的雕塑，電影《音樂之聲》的一些著名場景在此拍攝。
女兒一見這麽迷人的花園，終於明白過來了，“難怪我們比利時鄰居的花園非常漂亮，歐洲人有著天生的綠手指”。
我們越過薩爾斯河。
我們來到了老城區的中心，徒步參觀被列為世界文化遺產的老街。薩爾斯堡是莫紮特的出生地，看見廣場中央的那個大金球嗎？那是薩爾斯堡的國家級特產：莫紮特巧克力。
薩爾斯堡的街道非常有趣，門上的標誌標明商店的特色。雨傘店標著一把雨傘，內衣店標著一條短褲，看看下麵的照片，你就可以猜猜這些是什麽店了。
大教堂
三樓是音樂神童莫紮特出生的小屋。
看見斜頂的小屋嗎？這是世界上最小的屋子。一個年輕人想娶一位姑娘，姑娘的父親要求他有棟房子，年輕人用了全部的財力建了這座小屋子。姑娘的父親無話可說了，隻好把女兒嫁給了年輕人。
小屋旁是一座咖啡館，有著悠久的曆史。
薩爾斯堡大學
薩爾斯堡的菜市場，也是《音樂之聲》中的菜市場。
泛舟沃夫岡湖是自選項目，導遊說這是歐洲最美麗的湖，去了之後覺得這個湖確實如詩如畫，令人領略到超凡脫俗之境界。
湖上還有遊泳池和按摩池，這是女兒從山頭的拱形窗往下看到的，因為角度的關係，我隻看到了按摩池。女兒拿出照片為證，我才相信真的有個遊泳池，然後我們開始討論在湖上建遊泳池的必要性，再然後我們一致同意，遊泳池不僅有一圈邊邊，底下也應該是不與湖連通的。
湖邊是美麗的聖吉爾崗小鎮，小鎮讓我聯想起加州的卡梅爾。女兒吃著冰激淩，逗著小花貓，在出售紀念品的小街上穿行。
導遊說這時世界上最小的教堂，坐落在湖心小島上。我沒有機會上島參觀，隻有機會在飛馳的大巴士上搶拍了一張照片。
17 day trip – day 8
Salzburg: three out of five
Salzburg, like Lucerne, is split into an Old Town and a New Town. The Old Town is the most interesting historically. It's the birthplace of Mozart. Even though he was born there, he hated Salzburg, and eventually moved away. The town is a tourist town, and now relies on tourism because of him to survive. I think that if he hated Salzburg so much, he should have decided to get born somewhere else. The Sound of Music was filmed there, and I saw the actual filming spots. One of them was Mirabel Gardens.
Lake: five out of five
I visited Lake Wolfgang by taking a boat tour. It was an optional excursion, and the tour guide said that there was a record low amount of people on it. The lake was surrounded by mountains and is featured for about 4 seconds in The Sound of Music. There's a town around it. While on the boat, I saw a huge cliff face. It's very steep. There were actually 2 climbers on it, climbing up!
Dinner: three out of five
Today, I ate dinner with the tour group. It was Chinese food, even though I would have preferred European food. What's the point of going to Europe to eat Chinese food that I can eat at home? It was pretty good, except that there wasn't enough time (yes, I know, I'm a slowpoke) to eat and that there were PEPPERS!!!!!!
I've decided to get rid of the average score. It takes too much effort to do. Austria is very nice, and has cheap and tasty ice cream. The only problem is the bathrooms. They still cost a lot.
我也是一直帶著女兒東走西逛，現在一個人出門旅行都覺得沒意思了。
