This was an interesting morning. I was getting ready to drive to the airport when I received an email from Viator informing me that my tour had been cancelled! It was the railway tour I booked for the first seven days. And they were going to pick me up at the airport. 😒
The email suggested I call the Austrian tour company for other options. She had no other options. And my misplaced booking was NOT their fault.
So I called Viator. Of course it was not their fault either. They sincerely tried to find other tours for me–I can safely assume because I was holding for thirty minutes–but failed. So I booked a hotel in Vienna for one night before I left the house.
While I was in the TSA line I booked a hotel in Salzburg. Well, it’s not actually IN Salzburg because booking.com informed me that 90% of hotels are booked in Salzburg! Since I couldn’t stay in the center of Salzburg I decided I’d stay five miles out at Vollererhof Gesundheitszentrum. Makes me want to sneeze. It’s a health spa that was built in 1927 with a bucolic view.
BTW, I highly recommend making travel arrangements in the TSA line. The time flew by.
So I’ll take my own railway tour from Vienna to Salzburg and then who knows? I may get on the train and you’ll never see me again.
I had time for Ivar’s so all is well. Time to get my compression socks on.😖

Health spa? 1927? Bucolic view? Sounds like a win!

Oh no!! I mean, I love the adventure you’ll have now, but the train tour did sound like so much fun. It’s good this way – you’ll have to ask people as you go and I bet you’ll find some gems. Best of luck!
