With the sound of…
Amy singing Sound of Music songs in my ear.
We FINALLY can check off that last “must see” trip as this past week we ventured into the land of the Von Trapps, lederhosen, yodeling and um…. Beer. We flew out of London, landed in Vienna and then proceeded across Austria via coach with various stops that included Salzburg, Innsbruck and finally ending in Munich just in time for the last weekend of Oktoberfest. This was one of those non-stop, see as much as you can in as short a time as possible type adventures that left us quite dizzy, but in the end will be one we remember for quite a while.
There was SO much to do; I will have to publish this in installments, so…
Let’s start at the very beginning.
A very good place to start.
Let’s not kid each other. As most of you know, this tour has been on Amy’s list from the start of our time here in the UK and we tried to squeeze in as MUCH of the Sound of Music items as we could.
She saw Alps (which… if you’ve been with her to a Sound of Music sing along - you know this rhymes with yelps).
She stood on the steps and near the fountain in Mirrabelle Gardens in Salzburg where the children sang Do, Re, Mi.
She “hid” in the cemetery. .. Yes, she's there-
And she visited the actual church where the wedding was filmed.
And no… she didn’t sing.Not once. Yeah, right....

The church where the wedding was filmed is in Mondsee, if I remember right. When I was on a choir tour, we actually got to sing one piece while seeing the church...it was a very cool moment. We also sang at a service in the church by the cemetery in Salzburg. Von Trapps and Mozart...8
