OMG… there’s snow!


One of the little villages we passed through

10.01.2012 – Tuesday, day 22

So much for Ads telling me that we wouldn’t see snow on our trip until maybe we get to Germany… well did we see snow today or what!? LOTS and LOTS of snow! We travelled firstly by bus from Venice to Villarch, then by train via the Alpine region to Salzburg. Our first class train tickets cost us about 3 Pound each and it would have to be the best 3 Pound we have ever spent!

Neither of us have seen snow before (well I clearly haven't, Ads has seen it but not actually seen it snowing); So we were like kids staring out at a candy factory or something! “Wow, check it out there’s snow over here on this side, and more snow over there, look how thick it is, OMG it's snowing and there’s skiers up there!” lmao. You can totally tell the tourists hey.

But honestly, it was the most beautiful winter scenery I’ve ever seen. Up close and personal with the snow capped mountains, little villages at the bottom of the hill with thick blankets of snow on the roofs of their houses, cars etc. Like luscious white pillows or marshmallows! Now all Ads can talk about is taking the train back up the hill just so he can build a snowman, have a snowball fight and push me over.. yeah nice pick on the crippled one! Lol. We are only in Salzburg for 2 nights and one day so not sure how much snow fighting we will be able to cram in there, but we shall give it a go.

Enjoy the pictures.

Even the train tracks were covered, you can just see the front of our train as it goes around the bend.

Snow covered village! Beautiful.

Not sure how you get out of that place without drowning in snow! No footpath!
