SNCF train, they tell you 20 minutes ahead which track the train is on, but you walk and walk to find the carriage you're on, which in our case was about 1/2 mile it seemed.
Get to Stuttgart, they even have little pictures of the trains and the carriages and the classes and signs to tell you where to board the train! Points to the Germans for organization, even if they do have lines painted for smoking areas on the train stands.
Get on the train again, the TGV was fast, but the DB train while older was almost more comfy, bigger car, almost like they want to put another deck on it!
Then we get to Salzburg, and the train station is being redone, which means lots of stairs, and Mom doesn't do stairs well, and we've got baggage on a trolley. But I'm a veteran of baggage and Mom's and trolleys, and we finally get to a Taxi and then to the hotel, and I meet Carol at the front desk whose English is great, we get a nice room and there will be pictures of 'Over the River and through the City to Mozart's Home we go'
Mom's settling after bouncing off walls earlier!
More later! And pics on Monday!
