Salzburg, Austria.....again

I happen to love Salzburg, so I took a 3rd trip there in October 2008. I tried not to double any pictures from my previous post of Salzburg (from November 2007 in case you want to go back and look). Here are some general city pictures.
Salzburg Cathedral
We took some day trips to Bavaria, and this is a city square somewhere in the Bavaria area.
Below is Hitler's Eagle's Nest.
We also went to ice caves. We had to walk uphill for like 3 days, then take a funicular further up, then walk another 3 days. And then we had to walk this route just to get to those caves there. Once up there we got to walk 700 steps up and 700 steps back down in the ice caves. Every 5th person had to hold a flame lit lantern for light, and it was like below freezing temperatures. Multiply the ice pictures below by 10 million and that is about what it looked like inside the caves. This was a great idea!!!

John (one of my traveling companions) would kill me if I didn't include these photos. This was a great little beer haus that we found (and ate there twice!). He was amazed that they had these closets where people could keep their own steins to use when they came. This closet was even behind lock and key!! We got one of the people to open it for us so we could take a picture.
