Spring is here, Shopping is great and the rain has stayed away.DAY  6. – Saturday, Apr. 16 ; This morning our ship arrived in Linz. We took a bus ride to Mondsee with the Alps as a back drop. We saw where some of the movie Sound of Music was filmed. The shops the history and spring time blooms made for another perfect day. A small guest at a local wedding. While in Mondsee we saw a wedding party.Team Power Shoppers 

Our Sound of Music gal, Sandra.

That’s our girl Sandra Vonntrapp! Above is where they filmed the wedding scene in the Sound of music

Back on the bus and off to Salzburg for a walking tour of Mozart’s birthplace and the historic center made famous by the Sound of Music.  With the Mirabell gardens and the Baroque architecture the city was a must see. We all loved the Old Market and just enjoyed people watching. Back to the ship for dinner and to meet up with the girls that went to Cesky Krumlov, a charming mountain town in Czech-Austrain border. Another amazing dinner and belly aching laughter. We are all just enjoying ourselves and so pleased to be here.
Yes this the guy who invented radar. (Well how it works)

The Golden Arches only allowed this small M for their store

The wall where movie set persons for the Sound of Music left up a huge nazi flag as filming ran late. They promised to remove it the next morning. Opps to late local dignitariies and Russian guest saw it first thing as they rode into the square for some official ceremonies. Wow….  wonder what was going through their minds.    

We are now on the move again on to Passau for 8:00 am. We are looking forward to some time in Germany.
