A somewhat late night last night meant we slept in and had a dreadful rush to make it to the bus on time for its 8am departure. Still the two hours on the bus were an opportunity to catch up on a bit more sleep.
We spent most of the morning in the town of Salzburg, first visiting some place that had something to do with The Sound of Music, followed by a lengthy walking tour through the old town before ending up at St Pieters Monastery which is now a restaurant. Here we stopped for lunch before walking back to the bus for the short journey to Oberdorf, the home of Silent Night. There was a short little concert in the church (Silent Night sung very nicely in German by a couple of Bavarians) followed by more walking then the two hour bus ride back to the ship.
It was certainly a very different Christmas Day from the ones we usually have, but quite enjoyable and visiting all these places is really interesting and the guides are very good.
We seem to be immersed in chocolate here with little boxes appearing in our room every time we go out for a minute.
2014 is obviously going to have to be the year of the diet!
As we have been warned, the internet connection is dubious at times - and this seems to be one of them.
It is proving very difficult to upload pictures, so I will save them for a later date when it is easier. It's a pity as they would have added a Christmassy touch.
