Behind as usual. Venice was great a sunny nice day. I did a little too much walking but had fun walking around Venice topped off by a yummy lemon gelato.

We left the ship and drove to Salzburg. We got caught in a big traffic jam something I did not expect in the mountain countryside of Austria. The scenery was beautiful, green mountain sides with lots of nice houses and quite a lot of castles. There was a two hour walking tour with a very good guide in the old town of Salzburg. Last night there was a marathon run through the town. We went to a pizza restAurant and had a very tasty pizzas. One big bowl of pasta, two large salads, three super sized pizzas and two bottles of wine, cost per couple $25. Really reasonable.

We have a long day today and I will be ticking Ludwig's castle off my list. Been wanting to see this castle for years. We will not be back tonight until about 7.30pm. We are across from the train station and there is a nice grocery store with a hot food deli. Probably will just grab something there and crash.

Be back tomorrow.
