Castles and Beer (aka Salzburg)

We made it into Salzburg and found a hostel by about 10:30 that night, only to find that the best beer hall was on the other side of the city and closed at 11. So we went out into the town in search of a place to eat and drink a bit, finally finding a restaurant that was still open and enjoyed first Austrian beers and sausages and goulash. We spent Sunday walking around the city seeing all the sights, climbing to the castle that overlooks the rest of the city (more impressive from the outside I think) and walking by the river to the other side of town where this famous beer hall is. After filling ourselves with beer, meat, potatoes and sauerkraut in the beer garden there, we slowly made our way back to the car and made it back to Maribor. There were tunnels we had to go through on the highway that were 8 miles long, that was weird. But just driving through Austria made us want to return. There were castles or ski lifts around every bend, the beer was excellent and Im beginning to really enjoy good sauerkraut....
