Salzburg

So we took a daytrip to Salzburg, which is a lovely town aboue 300Km west of vienna. It has a population of only about 150K and its claim to fame is of course the most famous musical in the world

The Sound of Music

Highlights

A pricey tour of the lakes and mountains took us to some awesome places, which were absolutely serene and beautiful. Imagine the scene in Hero where they fight on the lake and you are getting the picture of what we saw yesterday.

Alby's literal 10 dollar handshake - As we shook hands with the guide, alby kept the 10 euro tip in his hand and shook hands with the guide. Think drug money payment in the ghettos of south central LA.

Alby asking the poor waitress to explain the ENTIRE MENU of a restaurant, which had about 15 odd items, the poor girl didnt know how to translate most of it and Alby's insistance on knowing what Pork aspiz was, by asking her 3 times, made me feel for the poor girl.

Seeing as we are on the topic, lets recap some alby highlights from this trip.

Alby running from ESPN girl in NYC.
Alby leaving "Suprises" in the toilet in Lima.
Alby playing poker with stomach cramps, hiking his shorts up to his chest and asking permission to fart. How can you take money from a guy like that?
The Rio Explosion
Alby getting escorted out of the Mona Lisa gallery at the lourve after repeatedly trying to take photos after being told not to. This caused him to lose our tour group and he wandered the louvre looking for us, trying to track us with the static from the headsets.
Alby constantly stopping to look at real important stuff, like starbucks and maccas.
Alby pretending to take a photo in prague while listening to another tour group guide giving explanations of the city.
Alby walking out into our Berlin room naked after a shower.
Alby showing us his "rash" caused by his jeans chafing his inner thighs.

i just had to write it down before i forgot...
