Hello everyone! This is the Austria portion of the trip.

Austria was one of my favorite places to visit - definitely one of the most beautiful ^ - ^

A ski jump that was used in the Olympics twice::

We visited the Swarovski Headquarters here in Austria, and the inside was AMAZING.

After that, we headed to Mirabell Gardens in Salzburg. This was actually my favorite place that we visited on this trip! If it looks familiar, that's because the movie The Sound of Music was partly filmed here. We actually watched the movie on the tour bus!

The kids sang the "Do Re Mi" song on these steps ;u;

We began to head for the birthplace of Mozart, but before that, we walked across the Salzburg Love Lock Bridge. I've heard of these kinds of bridges in multiple places but I didn't know one was here, too. It was pretty cool walking across it.

People even had photoshoots here!

Mozart Chocolate is very famous in this area.

This is the birthplace of Mozart (yellow building). My mom is a musician (professional piano accompanist) so this place was really special for all of us, especially her.

Back view:

This was a square in Salzburg. I really love the designs of the buildings and decorations in the square. And of course, the colors were nice and all complemented each other :D

We also saw Wolfgang Lake! The water was beautiful ^ ^

The following photo is one of my favorite photos that I've taken. And it taken in the tour bus, too! I'm surprised at the clearness of it. Anyways, moving on haha.

On the twelfth day, we saw the Summer Palace.

Of course, that has to be followed by the Winter Palace! I'm not sure if you're allowed to go inside but we didn't.

Johann Strauss Jr. statue o u o

St. Stephen’s Cathedral!

Thank you very much for reading! I still have Italy and France to post, along with an overview of the trip. Then I'll be done with the Europe trip~
