Day 7 – Salzburg to Sankt Johann – by Barb Mathias

 

Starting out wet in Salzburg

And 7° C

Alongside the Salzach river

And our first sight of snow

The sole construction delay

Stopping to choose to check out a castle, versus moving along.

Alen pointed out that one castle is much like another…and the road is drying so we opted to cycle

Lunch stop in a resort town

63 kms done; found this comfortable hotel ready for us

The view looked good

And life got better

One highlight was spotting this salamander en route as it wambled across the bike path. Turns out it is considered to be pretty special in Austria, featured on a stamp and on a train.
 

And the view and weather improved.

Wiener schnitzel is everywhere, but there are other options, like this Turkish platter

 And so Day 7 ends, with a promise of a decent day ahead.
