A weekend in Salzburg and Munich

It doesn’t look as if we’ll have time to blog in any substantial way about our trip to Salzburg and Munich, so here are some pictures to suffice.

Becca, cycling along the Salzach.  With no helmet, but in a dedicated bike lane, so she’s not nearly as unsafe or reckless as she looks.

Brunch at Café Tomasseli in the Altstadt.  At first, our waiter looked very concerned about our request for vegetarian food.  But when we insisted that an omelet without meat (and plenty of Käse) would be fine, he happily obliged.

A view of the city from the fortress.

A view of the cathedral and fortress from Schloss Mirabell.

Salzburg’s cathedral.  The interior has too much stucco decoration for my taste, but the exterior is pleasantly restrained.

That’s right.  Nine different kinds of pretzels.

Salzburg through a stein of Stiegl.

Becca enjoying said stein of Stiegl.

View from Nonnberg Abbey.  Climb ev’ry mountain…

No comment.

We spent the better part of our time in Munich drinking these beers.  As you can imagine, a liter of beer takes time.

Obligatory stop at the Hofbrauhaus, even though we didn’t have time for more beer.

So… beer, mountains, and churches.  A good way to spend a weekend.
