We only wanted a night in Vienna to experience the Opera house. With our dreams fulfilled, we checked out of Do Step Inn in the morning and headed to Hertz to pick up our rental car to begin our roadtrip through Austria. The car was an appropriate idea because Austria is a beautiful green country to drive through. We (my dad) drove from 10 to 17:30.
Entering Salzburg was refreshing. The air was so light! We checked into Muffin hostel (50EUR/two), which I admitedly booked solely judging by the name. Max, the front desk attendant, was very friendly and Jack Johnson was playing while we were checking in. This was a very good first impression for me of the people of Salzburg. Though, honestly, they had me at Sound of Music, which we saw the entire movie that night (it was one of the perks of the hostel)! We took a stroll around Salzburg (within a 5-mile radius of the hostel), through the open fields and limitless greenery. After the walk, we played Foosball, watched the sound of music DVD, and caught up on some sleep. This hostel had plenty to do to keep yourself entertained and the property is spacious. After breakfast at the hostel the next morning, we drove through the city center and tried to find a few of the famous locations from the sound of music (saw the gazebo from 16 going on 17, the house they used as the back of the house that's facing the lake, the memorable MARIBELLE GARDENS, and the far away looking castle).
