Jachenau, Germany #Day57

We picked up our hire car this morning changing from this awesome smart car to a car covered in stickers as it has winter tires on it which we need to drive in the mountains! 
But oh well, we set around the Salzburg lake region, doing a circuit around the lake~ passing Fuschl, St Gilgen & Mondsee~ 
It was incredible. 
An amazing building set in the middle of water~
Walking through Fuschl~
Hello Mr Moo Cow~

And then we drove back across to Germany! 
So we were in Czech yesterday morning, Austria this morning and Germany for the afternoon! 3 countries in 2 days! 

Arrived in Jachenau~ 
Our accomodation for the night~ 
A tiny little town with no one around~ just us, the mountains~ 
A Church~ 
And the mountain goats~

Salzburg, Austria #Day56

We left Cesky Krumlov bright and early catching a bus for 30 minutes up to Ceske Budejovice.
From here we caught a train for 2 and a half hours to Linz, Austria where we waited for an hour for our next train~
Finally we caught the fast train taking just 1 hour & 15 minutes, arriving in Salzburg!
Salzburg the home of Mozart and The Sound of Music! 
With just a few hours of daylight left we raced into the old town to check out some sights~
First up~ Mirabellsgardens~
