Before we leave Salzburg

As promised earlier - more on the shop signs. Reminds me of when we visited Stanley and Willy in Celle (Germany) in the eighties. The code of practice - all to be in-keeping with the age of the town. Perfect.










The best one for last  McDONALDS. 
Wouldn't it be great if they were worldwide, instead of those despicable golden arches


The street market in Salzburg


As they are in Europe - a great street market where one wants to buy stuff and eat everything















A cute form of deer



...and doors to die for







Salzburg and Mozart's balls

We dropped in to Salzburg - home of Mozart. Beautiful city, luvverly shops full of Swarovski crystal and fine Austrian clothes, so wonderfully made in the traditional fashion. Tailored and smart.
Lots of Mozart's balls around (chocolate wrapped in gold foil)

...and this one in the main square. That's not Mozart on the top however - never could find out who it was. To my mind he spoiled the whole thing (he's pretty ugly) and Mozart's one ball should have been left unadorned




Segways abounded and they seemed to think that they ruled the earth, darting about everywhere, quite fast





Smart couples and statues




There is a Spar grocery shop on the ground floor of the building where Mozart was born  - but what a smart shop





A typical Salzburg street  - more about the signs later
