Blog. Failure. I started this entry over a month ago... I was writing brief descriptions and putting up pictures of our last few destinations (with Margaret and Sarah), I may just finish with pictures.... Enjoy! Maybe I'll put up some Aix posts in the near future...?
-----------------------------------------
Our past four destinations: Salzburg, Austria; Lake Bled, Slovenia; Plitvice Lakes & Dubrovnik, Croatia, have been one fairy tale after the other. It's hard to believe this chapter of my adventure [traveling with Margaret & Sarah] is about to come to an end! Here's a (hopefully) brief update of our latest tales, really I think the pictures tell a much better story than my words.
Salzburg: August 19-21
As you may or may not realize the majority of the Sound of Music movie was filmmed here in Salzburg! After the movie came out the tourism industry in Salzburg boomed and of course we couldn't come all this way without going on the "Original Sound of Music Tour". We only had a day or so actually in Salzburg, but we loved it. The tour was great and a nice change of pace to have someone else in charge of the map/directions/information etc. And we definitely embraced the tourist stereotype by posing for Sound of Music pictures.
Lake Bled: August 21-22
We had a little less than 24 hours in the beautiful Lake Bled area of Slovenia. You probably haven't heard of it, but we found it--courtesy of Rick Steves I think, and it was definitely worth the trip. We took the train from Salzburg, changed once, and had to take a taxi to our hostel. We spent the rest of the day on the lake with lots of Slovenians, and ate some pizza for dinner--actually I ate an entire pizza... oops.
Plitvice Lakes: August 22-24
Woke up early... Hiked around the beautiful national park with TONS of waterfalls.
Dubrovnik, islands, and Korcula: August ??
Incredible finale to an incredible trip!
