I rode many trains today

Back home from the weekend’s adventures. We ended up skipping over Salzburg, as we were too tired to really do anything, and headed straight to Vienna. A few days were spent there, and spontaneously on the way back to Salzburg (to transfer to Munichbound train) decided to hop off at Melk, which made for a splendid afternoon.

We overstayed our welcome in Melk a bit and missed the last train that our tickets allowed us to take back to Salzburg, so we had to buy upgraded tickets—but this meant a faster train, which was spiffy. And all told, we spent only about €33 per person on train tickets for the entire trip. That means Munich to Salzburg to Linz to Vienna and back again, all for €33. Not bad, eh?

Accommodation was completely free, as we hit up Couch Surfing and found some people willing to lodge us for the weekend.

All told, the trip was utterly win. I’ve harvested about 4GB of photos, which I’ll have to pare down quite a bit before I begin uploading. Since I have work in the morning, I think I’m going to retire presently, but I’ll spend all of Monday evening hacking away at this mass of pictures.

I really should travel more.
