The Amazing Race - Day 6

"The Hangover"

I don't know how drunk people do it. After my night at the bar and three hours of sleep, I felt like death, and all I had been drinking was apple juice. I can't even imagine what a real hangover feels like.

Lucky for me, today was another travel day. I made my way from Vienna to Salzburg via Grunau.

You've never heard of Grunau? Me neither, which is why I completely ignored it as a potential stopping point on my trip. My guide was determined to try and convince the three of us on the bus (yep, same three from my first trip) to change our plans and stay in Grunau. At first I thought she was crazy. But then we started driving through Grunau. And then we stopped at the hostel for lunch. And then I found out you can rent horses from the hostel. They hand you a horse and send you on your way to explore the area.

Why am I not staying in Grunau? Especially when this is backyard of the hostel:

                          

Yet another place I have to add to my "Need to Visit" list. It seems that the more places I go, the longer that list gets.

Anyway, I eventually made it to Salzburg. I wandered through the countryside, ate a dinner of chocolate, and then watched The Sound of Music - the hostel plays it every night at 7:00.

Nothing prepares you for a day in Salzburg like watching three hours of people singing around the city.
