Austria, Germany (Beer), Switzerland

Since our last update, we travelled to Salzburg Austria with a lunchbreak in Villache, spent a day in Munchen where we went to Oktoberfest and are now in Interlaken.

You might think getting a beer at the worlds biggest beer festival would be easy, But.. We queued for 2 hours to get into a beer hall before giving up. We then hung around two beer gardens waiting for a seat (they won't sell you a beer unless you are sitting). Joy finally sweet-talked a young german man to let her sit next to him while his friend was at the toilet and then we were able to buy a beer. It was very good. After Oktoberfest we checked out old Munchen before training it back to Salzburg.






In Salzburg we toured an old Castle,
Mozarts House and did the Vienna Waltz in a river cruiser on the River Salz.




Arrived in Interlaken yesterday and went to the Top of Europe by cog train today. The scenery was spectacular, photos don't do it justice.
