This weekend has been a whirlwind of crazy. Friday we left for Kronwinkl, probably the most amazing castle I've ever seen. I've only stayed at one castle in my life, so I guess that isn't saying a lot. First of all, this place has it's own built in cathedral. It has about 100 guest rooms, no joke. Natalie's best friend from boarding school and her husband lives in a flat on the third story, while Caspar(the husband's) parents live on the first and second floor. What they need with two floors is anyone's guess. I think all their servants live on the first floor. We went to the Landhuter Hochzeit, which was another Rennaissance festival celebrating the wedding of the Landshut Prince to the Polish? Princess. It was really cool. Natalie took me to this show with the kids with all sorts of Renaissance entertainment. Flag throwers, tumblers, singing, horse races etc. It was really cool. The whole city dressed up for this and it was basically a zoo. They were behind fences and we got to watch them in their natural habitats. For the show, the King, prince, princess and nobility were all sitting across from us eating their dinners, just like it would have been. We basically just hung out around the castle for the weekend.I hopped on a train this morning to Salzburg. Of course I worried the whole time that I was on the wrong train and that I would end up somewhere completely different. Luckily, I got off at the right station. I couldn't figure out the bus station, so I walked all the way to the hostel on the other side of town. It was a nice walk. The land is absolutely gorgeous and the buildings are amazing.
I was very proud of myself for being able to find the hostel all by myself. Now I'm just hanging out because it's Sunday and everything is closed anyway. I love you all! Pictures to come. I hope everything is well.
