Lots of jaunting around today with my friends from Germany. One of the interesting attractions is
Hanger 7 near the airport. It is a large enclosure with the Red Bull collection of aircraft, ranging from a B-25 WWII vintage heavy bomber to an early Douglas passenger plane, to a Sukoi design and a couple of French jets--a few helicopters as well. There is also a collection of Formula One race cars. The backdrop is a magnificent view of the Alps.

And some exotic trees |
Interesting place to visit. Admission was free and there is also free parking (the only free parking lot in Salzburg).

Judengasse, one of the oldest streets in Salzburg |
|
Mozartplatz

In the center of Mozartplatz is his statue and next to it were playing a trio of buskers.

Austrians are very fond of sundaes and iced coffees and all sorts of treats |
So that's a little tour of some tourist attractions.

Enjoy your trip and I hope the weather stays good.
Thanks, Maury. I'm used to lots of thunderstorms in Salzburg in August, but so far it has been sunny.
