The Sound of Music Tour

Yes, I know it sounds cheesy, but we decided to take this tour.  The Sound of Music is Stewart's favorite movie, and We knew that we would never see these locations without a car.  So, with that in mind, we hired Panorama Tours to take us on this trip. Our guide, Peter, was a very nice Austrian man who had lived in Florida for many years. He made Stew the Co-pilot and then told him lots of bad jokes. Lots of pictures of mountains in this set-enjoy!

Laura in front of the gazebo they had to move it from its original location because fans were trespassing to have a look.

Hellbrunn Castle. It is known for its unusual fountains. It does not appear in the movie, but we saw it on the tour.

Another note: The church that they used for the wedding was having a really creepy service when we arrived. Lots of chanting. We snuck out quickly!
