Hello Salzburg

It is snowing in Salzburg. Parts of the city are covered in snow and because of the snow, the city feels magical. I can vividly remember that scene when I was looking up at the Hohensalzburg Castle and thinking that I am like a person trapped in a gigantic snowdome (The souvenir one can get at the roadside souvenir shop). Adding to the backdrop was the voices of christmas carols and the cold biting into your fingers. It is the entire package. It is beautiful.

The Christmas Market at the Old Town, Salzburg was huge - way larger than any we have seen in Innsbruck. However, Salzburg cannot be compared to Innsbruck as Innsbruck has its charms too. The small city is less crowded and has a slower pace of life.

I realised the importance of the internet. Back at the previous accomodation, there was no internet, but we have cooking facilities and free breakfast. To use the internet, we had to visit the nearby mac and tap into their free wifi. Here, there is free wifi, slightly cheaper, but no place to cook or warm up our food. Things are so much easier with wifi.
