We took the 1 hour drive into Salzburg today and went straight to the famous salt mine. Salzburg was named for the salt mines and, since it was pouring down rain, we decided heading underground was a good move.
Each person had to wear a special white suit. We weren't sure if they were for the cold (it was pretty chilly down there), to protect our clothes (it was also dirty), or to give us less friction for the slides (we went on 2). Regardless, we wore our suits with pride!

We took a train ride deep into the mine, a boat ride over the salty sea, and we slid down 2 long slides.
A true salt-lover, the whole experience was Elizabeth's dream come true.
Afterwards we went into the city of Salzburg, grabbed supper at an Italian place, and walked around. Mozart was born and raised here and The Sound of Music was also filmed here. We loved it and found out that, yes, the hills are definitely alive!

After some jumping back at our apartments, we all headed to bed!
