I was in Salzburg until today. Sadly, it rained all but one day, so I didn\u2019t explore all that much. One place that I went was a toy museum.<\/p>\n

They handed me a marble to use in some of the play areas. Kept me busy.

\nFailed attempt at building a castle:
\n\"\"
\nThey also had a whole bunch of miniatures set up to represent lots of little businesses.
\n\"\" \"\"
\nAnd this one of the meat market! Eek!
\n\"\" \"\" I think there was something stronger than tea in her cup!<\/p>\n

I wandered the town a lot. It\u2019s very touristy, but also really cute. There is a lot of Sound of Music and Mozart references. And so many shops selling old style Austrian\/German attire! (No space to pack a dirndl in the pannier, so had to pass. haha)
\n\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" Blending the old and the new.

\nSome random lovely scenes from Salzburg\u2026
\n\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"
\nAnd rain\u2026
\n\"\"
\nCuckoo clock shop
\n\"\"
\nAnd SO MANY egg ornaments!!!
\n\"\" \"\" \"\"
\nThese are all real eggs. (And yes, there is a sign indicating that you\u2019re not supposed to take photos. Oops, kinda.)<\/p>\n

Yesterday I went to tourist information and said I wanted to go to a farm. I had been trying to find something on AirBnB and Booking.com but couldn\u2019t find much. The nice tourist info ladies gave me a website for Austrian farms and voila, found one! So, I hopped on a train this morning and headed to Saalfelden.
\n\"\"
\nThe train followed the Salzach River from Salzburg (see blue line on the map), south, then west, then the train cut north. It is stunningly beautiful here!\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"
\nArrived at Saalfelden and rode to the farm. It was mostly flat until the last part up to the farm. Took me a bit to get up the hill! Had to stop now and then.
\n\"\"
\n(The farm is up there.)
\n\"\" \"\"
\nAnd I got animals! I wanted animals! This is Sisi (the cat not the rug).
\n\"\"
\nMaria (who runs the place) told me the names of the animals. I forgot most of them, but the bunnies are Max and Moritz.
\n\"\"
\nAnd more farm animals!
\n\"\" \"\" \"\"
\nAnd views from the farm.
\n\"\" \"\"
\nToday being Sunday, stores and banks are closed. Tomorrow I\u2019ll go to town and get food and cash to pay Maria.
\nRick\u2019s timing was a bit off. That is, he went a lot further than he expected! Today he had a lot of downhill. He will be in Salzburg tomorrow I think, while here I am, not in Salzburg. I think he\u2019ll stay there until I get there, then we will tour the castle together. (I held off on the castle so we could go together.)<\/p>\n

Today is Sunday. I head back to Salzburg on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
