We rose to cool conditions and evidence of rain. An early start with departure from the ship at 7.30 for 8.25 departure on the Imperial Imperator, a beautifully restored train from the era of the Habsbergs. Champagne, muffin, croissants and lovely scenery for two hours to Salzburg. Our walking tour was in very light rain and extremely informative. Non Sound of Music fans may have been frustrated but I thought she handled the balance well. Two hours free time passed quickly in mainly dry conditions. The return train journey included more wine and nibbles and entertainment from the local Sound of Music theatre restaurant team. All good fun.
A long day, eleven hours all up, was topped off with another lovely meal, good company and night cap in the lounge. Doing a tour first means you really feel you are on a cruise with friends. Works really well for us. A slow start tomorrow which is very welcomed. Being a tourist is very hard work!
