So far so good! Unfortunately, the world, his wife and all their luggage seemed to want to catch the same Salzburg- bound train and we had to wait for seats to come free as people got off the train, but soon we all had a seat and we were watching the beautiful landscape flash past the window; snow-capped mountains, lakes and lovely meadows.
We arrived in Salzburg on time and were met by Dr Wild and some of the pupils from the school. After settling into our hotel and a very quick lunch, we set off back into Salzburg and had a fascinating tour of Mozart's birthplace. There was just a little time for a browse along the main street in the old town, the Getreidegasse, and then we were invited to an evening buffet at the Langenloiser Hof restaurant near to the school.
Travelling on the bus to the restaurant, we spotted the school and marvelled at its setting with views over the mountains and Salzburg castle.
Our videos show the school setting and a scene around the table at the Langenloiser Hof.
Tomorrow, we have changed plans slightly and are taking the chance to visit the Salzburg castle rather than the Hellbrunn palace, as this will give us the time to explore the old town of Salzburg a little more.
