If there is one person that I really love watching eating apple strudel that is Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Colonel Hans Landa nicknamed the Jew hunter in 2009 Quentin Tarantino film Inglourious Basterds.
I made this apple strudel (apfelstrudel) 2 weeks ago but still lazy to blog it. Anyway, here are a few pictures of Salzburg. I am still not done uploading though haha I am really, really lazy lately. Guess I need another vacation to recover from the Austria vacation lol.

Mozart? Haha he was standing outside Mozart's birthplace. Few coins to have a picture with him.

Mozart's residence in Salzburg. We also saw his apartment in Vienna, but we did not went inside as few visitors commented that it's just a waste of money to pay the entrance fee, because there is nothing much to see inside.
Mozart's birthplace.
The Mozart family lived on the third floor of the "Hagenauer House" at Getreidegasse 9 for twenty-six years, from 1747 to 1773. The celebrated composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, was born here on January 27, 1756. The building is named after the merchant and toy dealer, Johann Lorenz Hagenauer (1712-1792), who owned the building and was a friend of the Mozart family.
The Makartsteg is a bridge over the Salzach River in Salzburg′s city centre. It was named after the 19th century Historicist painter Hans Makart, who was born and raised in Salzburg.
Padlocks attached to the fence just below the railing.
A love lock or love padlock is a padlock which couples lock to a bridge, fence, gate, or similar public fixture to symbolize their love. Typically the couple's names or initials are inscribed on the padlock, and its key is thrown away to symbolise unbreakable love.

Stop over before going to the ice cave
It was really tiring but the view was amazing.
Eisriesenwelt (German for "World of the Ice Giants") is a natural limestone ice cave located in Werfen, Austria, about 40 km south of Salzburg. The cave is inside the Hochkogel mountain in the Tennengebirge section of the Alps. It is the largest ice cave in the world, extending more than 42km.
Temperatures inside the cave are usually below freezing. Warm clothes and walking shoes are recommended and must be prepared for uphill walking! (20 minutes walk to the cable car and another 30 minutes walk to reach the entrance of the caves) In addition, there are 1400 steps in the caves, that must be mastered. Photography is not permitted once visitors are inside the cave.
