Day Three (Dec. 29): Salzburg


Ø  Schloss Mirabell –Mirabell  Palace


Mirabell Palace is a historical building in Vienna. Several scenes from The Sound of Music were recorded here. Maria and the children sing 'Do-Re-Mi' while dancing around the horse fountain and using the steps as a musical scale. When Mona and I were little, we both watched the Sound of Music and got attached to the songs in it. This movie taught us that music is very powerful and is a source of happiness in life. To be able to see the scenes from the movie will remind us of our childhood memory and our true heart.






Ø  Festung Hohensalzburg, Kloster Nonnberg

Hohensalzburg Castle is one of the largest medieval castles in Europe. It was constructed in 1077. Its interior construction is very delicate. Down to the hillside of the castle is Kloster Nonnberg.  Through Maria Augusta Kutschera, later Maria Augusta von Trapp, who was a postulant in the abbey after World War I and whose life was the basis for the film The Sound of Music, the abbey has acquired international fame.
