Going on The Sound of Music tour was a dream come true. I've always wanted to go see Salzburg ever since I can remember (since the first time I saw the movie).
We didn't get to see the front and back of the house (they're both private property) but we did see the front of the house from far away through the tree-line way from where Maria sang "I Have Confidence" and the Von Trapp children were hanging from trees.
We got to see the lake behind the house where the children and Maria fell out of the boat.
We went to the little town of Mondsee to St Michael's Church where the filmed the wedding scene.
AMAZING apple strudel! With warm vanilla sauce. DIED!
The tour was a great way to see the hills and lakes outside of Salzburg.
I also bought me some dried edelweiss. The story with edelweiss is that a man who likes a girl is supposed to give her edelweiss. The catch is that edelweiss only grows on the tops of the alps around Austria.
We also went to the garden where many of the scenes of "Do Re Mi" were filmed.
After the tour, Chelsea and I went up the hill to Nonnberg abbey where the real Maria Von Trapp was studying to be a nun and where the movie filmed all the abbey scenes. It's still a nunnery today.
