Next morning we set of to see the town. We walked up a cobbled street where Mozart was born and lived. They have kept it as original as possible, with even the MacDonald's camouflaged. Every shop has a gilded sign beautifully decorated and ornate. The shop windows are wooden and with thick glass. A lot of shops have the Mozart Kuglen chocolates displayed in the window. There is a sense of good city planning to make everything look part of a whole.
We dashed through cobbled streets and arches with the snow covered mountains in the distance. There are several large courtyards surrounded by national monuments and churches. Horse drawn coaches went over the cobbles and under the arches making that beautiful clipity clop sound.
We discovered that the cable car was not operating so once again we climbed. If there is a hill in a town we will find it and need to climb it! The air was crisp, fresh and icey. I became snap happy taking more pictures than normal. There are lots of steeples and minarets and green copper roof tops. The walk up was very steep.
