The car GPS indicated the drive from Vienna to Salzburg was 2 hours 50 minutes. There was considerable traffic when we were trying to get out of Vienna. Once out of the city, it was a divided four lane with a speed limit of 130 km/h (81 mph). There were occasional reductions to 100 km/h around interchanges, but for the most part the posted speed limit was 130 km/h. Off and on there was light rain, more like a drizzle. The traffic was fairly heavy and a truck passing another truck would mean significant braking at times. In Europe, drivers do not sit in the passing lane. They use the lane to pass and then move to the right lane. (I wish drivers in the US would behave that way.) The challenge on the drive to the Saltzberg was if you pulled into the right lane and there was a truck ahead, you would close the distance quickly and be unable to pull into the passing lane because a cluster of cars were doing 145 km/h or more. Typically the cluster included cars from Audi, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, and BMW.
While in Vienna we saw multiple Bentleys. On the road to Salzburg, we saw a tractor trailer carrying 4 new Bentleys, not a sight you see everyday.
Yesterday, it was raining in Salzburg. Unfortunately rain was the forecast for the four days we plan to be here. The girls are reading, watching YouTube and laying around.



On our street (Bergheimerstrasse) were clay figures that adorned the front door of a neighboring house. We were at Bergheimerstrasse 49 49.


Have you guys rented bikes in any of the places yet?
