八月底一年一度的薩爾斯堡音樂節總能吸引數百萬的遊人。然而，九月到訪雖錯過了音樂節，但卻躲過了眾多的遊客、昂貴的酒店價格和無房的尷尬。Salzburg Music Festival held in every August can always attract millions of visitors. Although my visit in end of September missed the festival, I luckily avoided crowds, no hotel rooms and high prices in nearly everything.

beautiful city view!

彼得和卡羅拉從烏爾姆開車到薩爾斯堡，我們約在中心火車站碰面，車站不大人更沒有我想象的那麼多，我很快就在出戰的一瞬間看見了他們。兩年未見，大家難以掩飾彼此的想念和再次相見的喜悅。在到酒店的路上，我們不停地談論著最近彼此發生的事情，從工作到家庭，從健身到旅遊…… Peter & Carola drove from Neu-Ulm to meet me in Salzburg train station. This station was not as big as I imagined. When I walked downstair, I found Carola took the lift up. We shouted each other's name, coz I couldn't help expressing my happiness. On the way to hotel, we talked about our recent situation, updates from work to family, gyms to traveling...

薩爾斯堡在德語裏是鹽城的意思，依山傍水，地形險峻，站在薩河的步行橋上，回望全城的風景是最棒的。驅車15分鐘，我們抵達了市區。行走在防空洞式的通道裏，你能嗅到強烈但非常舒服的鹽味。LV商鋪旁邊便是我們的酒店，位於糧倉胡同大街上的藍鵝藝術酒店。酒店很袖珍，網上介紹總共只有40間房；風格主要是古典和現代完美的結合。我住在336號房，宜家風格的家居很簡潔，衛生間時尚現代，但古老的木窗又將你拉回到古典，真是很有意思。 Salzburg means "salt city" in German Language. It located in the mountain Alps with river salzach flowing across. Houses and buildings connected with many stone tunnels. Passing them, you can smell its strong salt flavor. I came to the city center, right next to LV store is our hotel, Arthotel Blaue Gans(Blue Goose, www.blauegans.at) , located in the getreidegasse. This hotel is very special, not big, actually very tiny with only 40 rooms. However, it is very old with 650 years history, after many years changes, now it has been renovated in a perfect mixture of classical and modern arts. I lived in Rm336, IKEA's bed and fashionably designed restroom harmoniously matched with old and vintage wardrobe made me excited.

放下行囊，我們決定出去散散步。出酒店左轉不到200米就是莫紮特的出生地，黃白相間的外牆，概述了這位音樂奇才在薩城度過的時光。穿梭在古老的城牆有種在曆史中暢遊的感覺，綿綿細雨是小城的常客，這樣的天氣很容易給畫卷般的景色添加一份浪漫和詩意。我想這也就給莫紮特等一大批音樂家、畫家、藝術家提供了醞釀的外部環境吧。就在閑逛的時候，我看見很多人在一處奶酪作坊前紮堆拍照，走進一看竟然是我在維也納街頭隨處可見的競選者，找當地人一問才知道此人是現任奧地利財政部長，正在競選總理。 After check-in, we decided to have a pre-dinner walk and to see a little bit of the city. On our hotel right side 20meters away is the birthplace of Mozart. This yellow-white building recorded early ages of this master. I continued walking, suddenly I found many people gathered in front of a cheese making workshop. Walking close, I was surprised by the person who is just the candidate for the Austrian chancellor. I saw him on the poster nearly everywhere in Vienna, I didn't expect to him here. It is amazing and a little bit weird.

時間來到晚上八點，我們開車前往當地非常隱蔽但又遠近聞名的餐廳—Gasthof Schloss Aigen。據卡羅拉說，由於餐廳的Tafelspitz非常美味，就連威廉王子也來這裏參加朋友的婚禮，飯後還在屋外的後院裏喝酒聊天。我們三個人也都一樣點了這個招牌菜，烹調的方法大概是用一種特別的高湯煮牛肉，然後再放入烤箱蒸，出來的味道簡直美極了。美酒配美食，幸福的一天讓我沉醉。 It was eight at night, they decided took me to a nice but not-easy-to-find restaurant for dinner. We drove 10 mins, came to this Gasthof Schloss Aigen. According to Carola, due to the famous Tafelspitz, a kind of boiled beef, even Price William of England had came here for his friend's wedding. Three of us order this dish, easy to order,haha. Good food, good wine made me drunk in this relaxing atmosphere.

第二天，我們吃完早餐就按計劃向湖區出發了。薩爾斯堡還有一個吸引遊客的地方就是，這裏的湖區還是中國觀眾非常喜愛的電影茜茜公主的拍攝地。我們開車20分鐘就來到了著名的Fuschel Am See，這裏是私人產業，但在電影拍攝完成後被改造成了酒店，其中一個房子只有歐洲上層社會的人才會到這裏度假。現在的價格也非常昂貴，一個湖邊小屋一晚上的房價要2700歐元，即便是普通客房都要700多歐元。 The next day, as scheduled, we drove to one of lakes, fuschl See and Sissi Castle. This is a private property, now served as a resort and hotel called Hotel Schloss Fuschl (www.schlossfuschl.at), selected as the Leading Hotels of the World. Beautiful sceneries with mountain and lake view made it unique. Furthmore, the first two movies of Sissi had been made here, which added fairy color to it. The price? En, you will see four digits in euro. Let's enjoy it.

晚上我們又來到始於803年的當地最古老的St. Peter餐廳用餐。一切就是一個字“贊”。We came to the oldest restaurant St. Peter for dinner, which is from the year 803. Oh, my God. There is only one word for it, "Fantastic".
