GutenTag from Salzburg!

This place seems oddly familiar....

Arrived at the hostel -exhausted, hot, sweaty, gross, as usual. Discovered mix up with our reservation on the part of the hostel. No beds?? Michelle had copy of correct reservation so hostel dude starting sweating. He says he has found beds but they will not be ready for a bit so we go drag ourselves around town again and have supper at a place with a killer salad bar. We arrive back and collapse on our beds. Poor Shannon got put in the basement. Happy Birthday? No, do not worry, she is in a room with the rest of us for our second night. Every school group on the continent was staying in this hostel - it was a nightmare of children screaming and running and injuring themselves (ambulance only had to come once). Little sleep was had. Tonight should be better.

Today Michelle, LisaB, LisaG, and Shannon caught a bus, train, bus, cable car to the ice caves 1700m up inside the mountains. They were a refreshing -1deg Celcius. They were amazing and refreshing, (especially the 90 mile and hour wind that blows by when they open the door to the cave) After an hour and fifteen minutes we were ready for the heat again. Nicole spent the day shopping and relaxing in beautiful Salzburg, fending off the urge to by the Armani suit she fell in love with.

When Shannon, the Lisas and Michelle arrived back, Shannon headed to the hostel to refresh and the other 3 hit the H&M store. Not too much damage was done, but we are now at the end of the trip and dont have so far to carry our bags =)

It is still hot and sunny, and we are starting to look forward to some Nova Scotia sun.

Tomorrow sees Lisa G and Nicole fly back to Canada from Munich and Lisa B, Michelle and Shannon are off to Innsbruck.
