The first thing we do in Salzburg is go to the chocolate
factory where they have the not-quite-perfect Mozartkugeln, a Salzburg
specialty - pistachio paste surrounded by marzipan and then coated in chocolate
at a fraction of the price that the tourists buy them for. Then, into the
Altstadt for a proper kaffeeklatsch – with poppy seed cake. For supper we go to
my favorite restaurant ever – Friesacher. It started way back when as an inn
where the local farmers brought their new wines for tasting and naturally
someone had to cook to accompany the wine. There are lots of these types of
inns all over Austria. Friesacher’s now has 3 few restaurants and a fancy hotel
too. Tonight, we went to the Heurigen. Confirming why it is my favorite restaurant.
The rest of my time in Salzburg involves more eating going
for a few cursory runs to Scholss Hellbrunn and along the river at the crack of
dawn. I’m quite surprised by how dark it still is here at 7am. The only lights
I see along Hellbrunner Allee are those of the oncoming cyclists that are few
and far between and judging by the smell, horses haven’t been here too long
ago.
More kaffeeklatsches, lots of markets and lots of walking into the city
and poking into the shops and being completely at home in this gorgeous city.
