Trip to Salzburg for the Sound of Music Tour with MUMSY!!

Me and mum headed away on a big jet plane for a few days to explore Austria and Germany. We started in Salzburg for a couple of nights because we have both been dying to the Sound of Music Tour!! This movie has been a favourite of mine since I was little and I was so excited to be experiencing with Mum, who was the one who introduced me to the movie many many years ago!!

Here are a selection of some of the photos we took in Salzburg- we both absolutely love love loooooooooooooooved the trip!!!
After an early flight, we dropped our bags off at the hotel, Mum had her cup of tea and we headed out for the day to explore Salzburg! This is Mirabell Gardens and are the gardens the Von Trapp children run around in the movie.

Day 2 we were up early and booked in for a day of fun for the Sound of Music Tour!! First stop was the scene of the famous Gazebo "I am 16, going on 17......" LOVE!!!!!

This is the leafy road Maria runs down when first arriving at the Von Trapp house!

Beautiful Salzburg

Leopoldskron Castle- the front side of the castle was used as the Trapp family home, the children were boating on the Leopoldskron Lake and fell into the water. The Venetian room was copied from the castle and used as the ballroom.

Leopoldskron Castle- perfect photo thank you ducks!

The Nonnberg Abbey used in the movie and where the real Maria Von Trapp was a Nun.

Amazingly pretty Salzburg

St.Gilgen and Lake Wolfgang- scenery shown at the beginning of the movie was filmed at Lake Fuschl on the way to St. Gilgen

Our amazing tour guide for the day! He put the Sound of Music Soundtrack on in the bus and we all sang along, loved it so much!!!
