Yesterday was my birthday and my choice was to spend the day in Salzburg. It was a beautiful, sunny day and the drive there past some of the lakes was lovely. I admit I did cause us to waste half an hour as I misinterpreted the park and ride bus route so we had to get off, cross the road and get a bus going back to the right place!
We walked round the sights then climbed up to the fortress. We had lunch by the river and soaked up the sun.
We went to an organ recital by Johannes Berger in the great hall of the Stiftung Mozarteum. Amazing to see the necessity of two people for the performance; the organist playing with his hands and feet and the assistant turning the page and pressing buttons. We were impressed by the skill especially in such a young musician but not sure about the musicality - some of it sounded like crashing chords.
