Austrian adventures

Whilst everyone I know has been enjoying the rest of winter break lazing on couches and reading novels and everything else typical of a low key Christmas holiday, Flannery and I have done exactly the opposite, and I would not have had it any other way. I arrived in London the night of the 5th and stayed with her and her sister at their uncle's incredible flat. We spend the next day exploring London- we went to the National Gallery, Tate Museum and Evensong at Westminster Abbey. It was a beautiful (but chilly) day and I realized I really really love London a lot. The people make it all the better. At one point Flannery dropped her wallet on the bus and they paged her to return it. I do not know, for some reason people earn huge brownie points in my book for stuff like that.

We flew to Salzburg the 7th and OMG it is incredible. Such a classically beautiful little city, and so charming. We stayed at this nice hostel called Yoho and had ou r own room for the first two nights. We went on the Sound of Music tour the first day and it was naturally touristy and cheesey but totally awesome. We got a good dose of Salzburg history as well, aaand they took us up to the Austrian countryside as well, which was gorgeous. We went to this great beer hall called Augustiner Brau also, it it was so cool to sit down with our steins and chat the night away alongside other Austrian locals. The next day we went to the Salzburg Museum, and while I am wary of museums and can get easily museumed out, this one was great. It gave a lot of cool history about the people of the city. We also took the elevator up to the top of the city from the Modern Museum, took in an inredible view and got to walk through this charming foresty thing near the fortress and down to the city. Truly one of the greatest Euro city I have been to yet.
