Baronesses aren´t always the Von Trapp Family Singers´ favourite people, but too bad, cos I now have a new job leading the latest Sound of Music Tour Bus sing along (you know you´ve found twenty of your soul mates when they all know the words to Lonely Goatherd and yodle in tune). This is me being Sixteen going on Seventeen at the gazebo in the garden.
Apart from all the goofy silliness of tourists/hooligans (divided into two distinct camps of SOM or Mozart die hard fans, often brawling after a few beers) and overpriced schweinschnitzles, Salzburg is actually an extremely tranquil small town with a crisp river, dreamy gardens and modest baroque buildings and acceptable beer. And if you sing Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens (Favourite Things) - or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, depending on which camp- hard enough, the miserable rain actually turns into sunshine.
