Salzburg to Munich

This morning it is heavy rain and grey skies.  We have been so lucky with the weather to date, that there is no point in complaining. Marianne waves us off from the hotel - I breathe a huge sigh of relief and we head into the city of Salzburg - our hotel is about 20 minutes out. A local guide takes us for a lovely walking tour through the old city.  there is light drizzle so umbrellas up for part of the time, but then the rain stops and we are once again able to wander about easily.  What a delightful place.  We wander through beautiful gardens and see fabulous old buildings.  There are so many museums and they make a big thing of Mozart's birthplace and original residence. When our walking tour ends we are taken to a fabulous little cake shop where we are all offered hot drinks and our choice of any of the gateaux or cakes. I had a hot chocolate and piece of baked cheesecake. Mmmm, yummy.  Then we were free to wander for a couple of hours before we had to meet the group again. I had a lovely time wandering about the stalls and strolling through various alleys.  Bought a bit of bling and a couple of touristy souvenirs that when I get home I'm likley to wonder what ever was I thinking!
Back on the coach and a last look back at Salzburg.  Then about 2 1/2 hour drive to Munich.  We are now back at the Hilton hotel where I started 9 days ago.  We have our group Farewell Dinner tonight in the  which I am looking forward to.
It has been a really good tour with the various places we have visited.  I've enjoyed all bar one of the optional tours and would recommend the trip to others - however I'd re-think being prepared to share a room.  But then again, I've now got so many more stories to tell!!!
My flight to Iceland leaves tomorrow at about 2 p.m. however I will be on the shuttle bus at about 8.30 in the morning so once again I get to see much more than I want of another airport. 
hope you've enjoyed the tour so far - perhaps the best is still yet to come!!!
