(From our March 2016 trip)

Today another life long dream was to be fulfilled and it’s so bloody exciting you guys.  This delightful Disney Princess was finally going home to her castle.  What, you didn’t know I was a princess and that I had a castle?  Oh you poor misinformed souls.  Of course I do, obvs…. Pfffttttt.  Read on….

So up bright and early again to get ready for tour number 2,783 of this holiday and husband decides he’s had enough.  He’s out….he can’t even….he can’t be arsed…..all chill has been lost.  He’s tapping out my friends.

Now I don’t want to get all emo on you but I was pretty excited about today.  Salzburg, more particularly The Sound of Music, played a big part in my childhood.  I loved that movie and like most Aussie kids I knew all of the words to every song and of course I loved Maria, thought Gretl was the cutest thing ever, felt sad when the Baron ignored the kids, hated that slapper The Baronness for trying to sabotage the love of the century and I know you already know this – I so wanted to be Liesl… (except the bit where she falls in love with a total asshat who almost gets her family caught.  Talk about a dobber).

So you can imagine how important the SOM parts of my visit to Salzburg were to me.  In the early trip planning stages I found the tour company I wanted to use for this day because all of the reviews were ~glowing~ about the Sound of Music experience with this tour guide… *yes we know you like good tour guides Lisa, shut up already…*

Today’s update is brought to you by PORK KNUCKLE…..because it’s a Bavarian foodgasm and it will punch you in the mouth with it’s awesomeness.  Now on with the show…

After a great nights sleep we started our day with a ‘free walking tour’ with Sandeman’s Munich Tour.  I’m not usually a big fan of the “free” tours where you tip at the end but this tour had the most amazing Trip Advisor Reviews it was hard not to give it a go. It was a 3 hour tour and our guide was this lovely little 20 year old lass named India.  There were alot of people on the tour and I felt sure the crowds were going to get on my tits and make me not be able to become besties with the guide but I managed to body slam a few people out of my way so that I could stick like glue to her side and get the most out of my tour.  Poor husband just follows my path of mass destruction with his head down, trying not to make eye contact with the angry villagers carrying bitchforks in my wake.  I make no apologies – this is my holiday and I’m not here to make friends….I’m here to learn about history and beer so I just simply don’t have time to fork around.  I’ll wash away any guilt about my behaviour with beer later on.
