We spent the night at a smaller German town, Bad Tolz. Why there? It was 1/2 way between Newschwanstein and Salzburg. Ainsley had to help read the menu, as there was no English, except for the proprietor. The place was a family run affair, as the older gentlemen who was serving breakfast was clearly the dad of the proprietor. We had thought that maybe we'd see the town center, but the day started out wet (and never truly got better) so we decided to go straight to Salzburg.
We had already reserved a pensionne for the next nights, so we just headed there, arriving at about 1:30. There is a car park, so we checked in briefly with the proprietress to let her know who the car belonged to, and headed to town...well, we were supposed to, but in the rain got turned around, so I had us walk about 2km more than planned. I say it was just to improve our step counts for the day.
We had already looked into how we wanted to do Salzburg, and headed first to the Mozartzplaz Residence - and then walked to the hotel across the street to buy the Salzburg Pass- we knew we wanted the pass, but didn't realize they were only sold at hotels. Back across the square, and started our 48 hr pass at 2:35. After the Mozart Residence, we walked across to the old town and the Salzburg Museum for the second use of the day (most all museums closed at 5).
Wandered around the old town, and found a restaurant for dinner - I had a good roast pork and bread dumpling, while Ainsley had a turkey-snitzel and parsley infused potatoes. We got public transit with the pass so hoped the bus for the 3-stop ride back home. We didn't post then as upon getting into the hotel room, missed the little piece of paper that had the password on it.
