Shut your Von Trapp!!!

Here I am in Salzberg. I watched 'The Sound of Music' today. It redeemed this sleepy little city. Here I was just going around town looking at nothing. Then, suddenly, it means something once you watch that movie.

But here we go. A test in physical and mental strength. I am going to Munich tomorrow. I want to see, feel and drink Oktoberfest. But the kicker, I will not have a place to stay on Friday night or Saturday night. I might have to work my magic or just suffer two nights sleeping outside. Either way, if I drink at Oktoberfest then I get a new badge to sew onto my backpack. If I don't see Oktoberfest then I'll be moving on to a new city without a hang over.

The next week will be interesting to say the least.

So far Vienna has been the most memorable stay. The hostel crowd was just right. A good collection of international people bound to travelling around Europe. The last night in Vienna proved to be quite the show. I ran out and picked up 48 cans (two flats) of half litre beer. The total price was just under €20. That is roughly $30 Canadian dollars. You can only buy 12 cans of beer for roughly $24 CND back home.

We stayed up all night writing a communal story. I was given the high honour to write the ending and present the whole work infront of our little communal authorship of 15 plus hostelliers. We laughed and cried from laughing. We drank odd mixes. We caused a scene, man we burnt that place down. And then we took it to the streets. A Viennese victory in my books.

Adios from Salzberg.
See you at Oktoberfest.
