Salzburg, Austria

We took this shuttle thing from C. krumlov to Salzburg, but it was not very luxurious. the guy driving stalled the car and didn't know where the gas hole thing was, but we think it was his first time driving that car, so we cut him some slack, but still, it was not very nice. The shuttle brought us right to the road of our apartment, which we easily found. We got to Salzburg way later than we thought, so we were hoping the lady renting us the apartment had some patience, which, Luckily she did. She was a very nice lady, and told us a bunch of helpful information. we spent the afternoon and dinner time at a bier garten which is basically a restraunt. It was ourdoors and fun to be at.
Our Apt. was right on the main shopping street, which was perfect for me!! There are all these brand name stores, but a lot of shoes and clothes are a bit expensive. My mom and I spent some time going through the stores. i got a few things from H&M, but that was it. I really enjoyed Salzburg, it was one of my favorite places. I loved all the shops and things to see and do. I liked the river going through it too! Mozart is from Salzburg, and his wife is buried here in the cemetery.

C. Krumov

After we went to Prauge, we took a bus to Cesky Krumlov (Chesky Crum-luv, that was very loud, shaky and vibraty! It was hard to sleep on it. We arrived there and found our hotel with no problem, the only thing was finding our reservation. We got to the desk and tell them our name, and the lady looks and looks but cannot find it. Finally she decided to look on the computer, where she found our name. The first day we were there, we headed to look for lunch, where we found a cafe that had yummy chicken. We then walked to the big castle in the center of the town. C. Krumov is a small town, smaller than Burlington, which was nice. Right at the enterence gate there are two European Brown Bears, who live there. They are of course closed in and everything, but you could look down on them. They were very cute!

Then my dad,brother and I decided to go up in the castle tower. This is the view:

The next day we spent some time exploring and walking around. There was a cute square where there were benches and restraunts where you could sit and watch people, and luckly, that day, there was a market going on. there was cheese, homemade potato chips (really good) and jewlery, easter eggs (hand painted) and childrens toys, and more! Its really fun to walk around. We stayed at a cute, family run hotel, and had some drinks on the terrist. Oh and did I mention that there were doughnut things there too!!! haha! And gelato (but the workers at the place were not very polite) We lucked out because we got breakfast at the hotel, which was good because we were tired of cereal by then. they dont give u waffles and pancakes, its mostly cereal, bread (like rolls) and fruit. I had rolls with nutella on them....
We ate at a place for dinner and we ordered a cheese and meat appetizer, and so Pad took a bite of some cheese and said it tasted gross, so i tasted it and it had like no flavor and it was cremy, but it was definitely not cheese, so my mom, of course rolls her eyes and decideds to take a bite. "It almost seems like butter" she said, then my dad goes, "Thats what it is!!" (See, apparently there was butter and it came on the plate, but he forgot about it!) It was disgusting!! Haha!!

Prauge

This is my post about Prauge. My family and I voted it Most Beautiful City We've Ever Seen. Every building you walk by has something different and pretty about it. We stayed in a very cute and modern apartment that was a two minute walk from Wincelas square, the main square. There are lots of stores, and there are vendors on the Charles Bridge, which is a bridge that crosses the river. There is mostly jewlery and caricatures. i got a bracelet and earrings. One day we took a tram up to the World's Largest Castle, the Prauge Castle. There is an amazing church on the grounds. All the windows have these great stained glass pictures. At the bottom of the square there is this little section filled with these small wood shacks that sell things...my favorite stand was the sausage one, but better yet, the one that sold tall, thin doughnuts!! Best things ever, especially since they are covered in Cinnamon sugar with nutella inside of them!!! I wish they had them here in VT... :( Oh i forgot to say we did have a little mishap when we first arrived in Prauge, but a nice man helped us. You see we were going to meet a guy that would let us into the apartment at a certain time, but 45 minutes later, he never showed up, so we tried to get wifi somewhere to check email to see if there was a change of plans, but our computer died and we had no converter, so we decided to go to plan B, go to a different hotel with a computer that we could be able to stay if the apartment was a fake, so a nice man helped us. we used a computer and found out the guy meeting us could not make it, so a new guy was coming, so we called him, and 20 minutes later we were in our apartment.
