A Spring in Munich & Salzburg




Wheehooo! Alhamdulillah, another trip to the Europe since our honeymoon. This time experiencin Old Europe, startin from Salzburg.

Salzburg (literally translated to English is Salt Castle) has such rich history & its Old Town is beautifully preserved & listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. I love it that the buildings & Bavarian alps just blend together to form such visual harmony. I feel pretty "zen" here, and hah I am not the only one. Apparently, Hilter & the Dalai Lama also love it here, the Untesberg mountain to be precise. We were told that the Dalai Lama considered the mountain as the "heart-chakra of the world", whatever that is...but yeah, there's surely somethin positive here especially when the sceneries juz so make me feel like singin..."The hills are alive with the Sound of Music" & i finally knew where that Edelweiss song i kept singin for Guiding days came from!
