Today we took off for....with Regina and Momo for a wonderful hike! We had an incredible view of the Austrian alps and a crystal clear lake. The hike took about 2 hours and then we went out for a quaint and delicious Bovarian lunch. We sat out in the sun and now Amy has tons of freckles! So wonderful :) After lunch we drove to a...wait for it...SALT MINE!!! We took a tour which included a train ride, 2 giant wooden slides, a boat ride with...I quote..."dancing ornaments" AKA a light show on the water, salt water tasting, and a fun elevator ride. SO much fun! Oh, and we got to wear mining attire.
After the mining experience we went to the lake and walked to a location called Artist's point. It was a beautiful view of the lake and there was an incredible echo! Michelle met a new friend that demonstrated the echo for us :)
*Amy taking a wack at the creating an echo
Then our wonderful hosts drove us to Salzburg, where we are staying at the YOHO hostel (YOuth HOstel) and meeting a bunch of fun US friends who are also traveling about Europe. And we got to do laundry, which is always a bonus! Tomorrow we will be pulling a tourist card and doing the Sound of Music tour!
