Sunday January 23rd
Final few hours in Salzburg
With a lunch-time flight there was now time to have a lunch time wander having checked out of the hotel and had breakfast, and said goodbye to Luc and Harry, who were the last of the team still to leave.
Another beautiful crisp sunny day, with fresh mountain air.
I walked into the centre, cutting across to the river from the hotel, and came across the first of many churches with their bells ringing for Sunday morning. There was an amazing sunny and crisp feel to the city.
Wandered into the centre, and borrowed some of McDonalds' wifi to upload photos and catch up with various networks.
People were heading for church, or wandering the alleys...
Remember to check out my FLICKR SET for over a hundred images taken of the city.
Passed the house of Paracelsus, a name familiar to me from Robertson Davies books. Back to Hotel Bristol, and took a taxi to the flughavn
There was free wifi in the airport terminal: something which would be good to copy perhaps in some other airports.A spot of duty-free shopping, before boarding.
The plane was not very full, probably around 40 passengers in total. Settled in with my music, Sennheisers and a cold beer.
Had the Alps on the left hand side as we took off, with an amazing panorama of peaks - those five minutes alone made the trip worthwhile. Check the Flickr set for some of those pictures. Here's a sample... this was a real geography wow moment...
And 2 hours later, I was driving through the damp countryside of Norfolk heading home...
An excellent learning experience...
