A glimpse of Salzburg

It was raining on Saturday morning here in Vienna, the clouds were hiding the sky and quite cold when we were heading for a trip to Salzburg. I was so excited because it's my first time to see Mozart's place. Though we are going there for a business trip and not for pleasure but i don't give a damn. All i care was to take pictures of the beautiful Salzburg if i find time. Half of the trip was raining but in Salzburg was a 16°C sunny day. Wow, cool! I never put on my winter jacket. I stepped out of the car with only a thin jacket on. How come here was already quite summer and it seems in Vienna, the winter has made its comeback? Does the 396km distance really make a difference?


So this is Salzburg, i thought. The buildings are not that tall compared to Vienna. Although Vienna has neither a Golden Empire Tower-like building. The roads inside the city are quite narrow. The so called one of the best- preserved city in German-speaking world can see its preserveness in every baroque building i saw. But the saddest part is i didn't find time to take snaps of this beautiful city. Only a click or two and nothing more. Because we had run out of time. I never thought it was already past midnight when our business "thing" was finished. Well...nevermind, I have just thought tomorrow for sure i will have time to roam around before heading back home. And the next day came, but what a S****, it was raining!!! And as i saw of it, the rain will not going to stop until the following day. So now i believe, weather in Austria is so unpredictable. Sigh............... I promised myself i will arrange my schedule to have day offs and drive back to Mozart's hometown. As we approached Vienna, it was still raining :=( and the next day, and the next day and the day after. And know what? As of this moment the snow falls. Grrrr!

Nakows di ako maka-relate hahaha. The only place I've been to Europe was Denmark (and Frankfurt Airport). At kung ikaw naghubad ng jacket on the 16-deg weather, ako nagsuot agad ng makapal na jacket at nanginig sa ginaw paglabas ko sa 16-deg temp ng Copenhagen. Nyahaha. Gusto ko sanang sabihing nami-miss ko ang winter snows kaya lang, mas masarap talaga ang tropical sun, wuhooo. =)
