I'm back from the 2 day trip to Salzburg, Glassgrockner, ZellmSee..etc. With U2 playing in the Car..freeway rides that even touched a max of 180Kmph, the trip was awesome...We played songs from Saathiya, Boys on the downhill. The best sound was that of roaring bikes in the valley!! We should ride these sport bikes one day....

Ice Ice and Ice all around..The Glaciers of Glossglockenr..whaw!! It was my first time at ice mountains. Its so enticing from far below!! Imagine a long drive by the country side in the evening with a energetic stream of water flowing along the road..meadows with grazing cows..(Just the scene for a Bollywood song, i guess!!) On the way back to base camp..We safely docked our car on the train carriage and enjoyed the glimpses of moon from the upper part of that doubledecker train as it peepes out of the mountain caves.....What else can u ask for?

The paddle-boat drive on the huge Zellmsee was just romantic. I tried for para sailing but the trainer was already booked up..maybe I'll do it sometime later...BTW, we also had a stint of Germany, while on the return journey to Vienna we tried a different road..that took us thru Germany for Half-an-Hour. So theoretically, i have visited Germany too ;-)

What i learnt from the trip...Europes country side beats the palaces and museums, handsdown. the concrete structures are more or less alike most of the time. A palace with exquisite gardens are an exception......coz i feel royal in there :-)
