VIENNA, AUSTRIA AND MUNICH, GERMANY.
From Cluj we drove across the border to Vienna Austria. Austria is one of those cities where every where you go you can point your camera anywhere and get a pretty picture! On our first night here we went to a Mozart Concert, it was the first classical music concert I have been to and it was excellent. There was some singing and a bit of ballet as well. The following day we explored the city and at night we had a traditional Austrian dinner at a beer hall in the forrest.
Today we left Austria and drove into Germany, Guten tag! On the way we stopped over for lunch at the city where "The Sound of Music" was partly filmed. We visted the church where they got married and the trees where the Von Trap children hanged upside down! I had a bratwurst sausage annd bread rolls for lunch at the nearby lake.
We reached Munich Germany at about 5PM. For dinner tonight we went to a beer hall and had a traditonal pork knuckles with beer sauce. They had a traditional German band playing and offcourse some traditional Bavarian Dancers. Also everyone had at least a one litre jug of beer! No I didn't drink it all in one go, it actually took me all dinner to drink it!
After dinner we went to another beer hall, right now I have just escaped from the beer hall and found an internet cafe to get away from the drinking for a while!
Tommorow we will be going whitewater rafting back in Austria- I cant wait!
Update:
In Austria we stayed in Hoptgarten in Austrian Tyrol. We went on a bike tour through the mountains- it was quite an exercise but it was beutiful. Everything looked perfect.
I did not end up going white water rafting the day before since I started to catch a cold and didn't feel well. However after the mountain bike ride I went paragliding, which involved running off a mountain while strapped to an already opened parachute.
Mozarts Statue.
Paraponting.

Hey Andrew!
Yeh Austria, Switzerland and Germany is awe some for the scenic views. I dont know what i'll be doing yet for sure once i'm on my own. But I meet up with Berna and Pat when I get back to London on the 3rd of Aug. I'm going to the World Youth Day in Cologne with them for two weeks and than we'll spend another week or so going down to Italy.
Cheers mate.
You definitely need to travel to Europe when you get the chance.
