Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Northern Italy (part 2)

... continuing with our day in Salzburg, Austria...

cable car ride about into the mountains above Salzburg

Now on to Hallstatt, Austria- the oldest still-existing villiage in Europe nestled on a lake in the mountains. I was most excited about this stop and it didn't disappoint- it was magical!

... next up Italia! and more of Switzerland...

Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Northern Italy (part 1)

We flew to Zurich (I was 17/18 weeks pregnant, still often nauseas, had a terrible cold/cough, and barely slept on the 8 hr red eye) arriving in the morning and stayed awake running around the city that day. Spent that night on the Island of Lindau, Germany on Lake Constance.

beautiful Zurich

a mini baby bump (about 18 weeks!)

Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany

After driving through the German/Austrian countryside we arrived in Salzburg for the night and stayed at the hotel Schloss Leopoldsckron where they filmed many scenes from The Sound of Music!
