Driving Continues

Day 2 - 4
Driving from Belgium all the way to Dachau in Germany passing through Luxembourg. Luxembourg was not on our list of countries to pass through. As we did not stop and my feet did not touch the soil I am choosing not to claim that i have been there although i have looked at it for a few hours. We camped in the farming area just out side of Dachu the night(day2). We got to stop in at a services before hand an I bought a giant 1 litre can of beer. We pitched out tent at the top of a hill away from most of the others, the view was really good and the hill walk not to bad.

Day 3, Our first stop was to the concentration camp in Dachu. Having been here in 2007 I decided it would still be good to go in and have a look around again as there were parts I didn’t get to see last time (plus it was free and what else was I going to do in a car park?).  After the visit of the camp we went out for some lunch and settled on maccas. Not being big maccas fans and not having had it for a while. After lunch we drove all the way to Salzburg and camped in a camp ground. We finally had a real shower! only 2 days of bush camping and we were waiting for the next proper shower. That night we stayed in the campground and chilled out. , that night Had a few beers in the pub/restaurant that night we had a pork stirfry.

Day 4 - The next day we headed into Salzburg to have a walk around and be tourists for the day. We took our time in the morning as we wanted to enjoy the shower and have a chill out day. We walked around and saw the birth place of Mozart and his home while he lived in Salzburg. After this we had some lunch(Kieran a snitzel and me a Austrian snag) and continued walking around, on this walk we saw the fountains used in the sound of music and many other sound of music location in the town. We headed back to the Mozart home and watched a free video of the time he spend living in Vienna. We were falling asleep, so decided it would be a smart time to head back to camp, of course picking up some beers on the way. We took the bus in and out of town.

I was on cook duty that night and we made burritos and i must say they were yummy. That night was the first night of rain for the trip, yep it lasted until day 4 to rain on us. I am happy to report our tent survived.

We have been doing a lot of driving so the blogs shall be little till we see something major to note or a cool story to tell
