Today, we took a cable car and went 1800m up a mountain. Mum was very freaked while we were going up and back down. It was freezing up there.
We had lunch up the mountain in a little restaurant. It had a cute snow dog there.
We went to Hellbrunn Palace were they had trick fountains. The trick fountains play jokes on people. One part of the fountains had a table and chairs and when the Prince sat his guests down, water was squirted from all the chairs and the ground onto the guests so they got wet. There were lots of these tricks and we got a bit wet. The fountains were built in 1615 and they used water hydraulics because they didn't have electricity. They had really decorative grottos at the fountains and they had little figurine's that moved due to water hydraulics.
Orlando got stung by a wasp while we were at the Palace.
We also went to Hohensalzburg fortress. They had a marionette museum there as well as lots of cannons and guns, torture devices, war uniforms and medals and you could see the whole city. We got up and down by a small cable-car.
We also went to see a graveyard and went into the catacombs which are tunnels dug into the walls of the mountains.
