When we got to Salzburg we walked around the cute streets and did a little shopping! Of course, we had to shop at H&M! Before lunch we walked around the Mirabell Gardens which are really beautiful, but mainly because many scenes from the Sound of Music were taped there. Sarah and her blonde hair became the photo-op for a very excited Japanese tourist, apparently she is like a freak of nature you must get your picture with! Haha! After lunch we got on the bus for the Sound of Music tour. It takes you around Salzburg and shows you many of the sights from the movie. Obviously, some of them aren't as grand or the same as perceived in the movie. But this was still an amazing way to see Salzburg and the surrounding area. We went up into the mountains and through the small town of Monsee.
After the tour we had about 1.5 hours until we had to catch our train back to Munich. So what did we do??? BEER HALL! We heard about the Augustiner beer hall which was started by monks a long time ago who brewed their own beer. It's attached to a church, and has a beautiful beer garden. You go in, get the size mug you want, rinse it under the cold water since it is still warm from the washing, pay the guy, he give you a ticket, and another guy fills your mug. There is only one kind of beer, and I have to say it's pretty good. The atmosphere is what makes this place! 
On the train ride home we met a young Colombian guy who was strangely obsessed with Milka chocolate and Hairbo Gummi Bears. He had a whole backpack full of it to take back home with him. I love the interesting/ridiculous people you meet when traveling!
I'm disappointed in your halbliter.
