We stayed in a small family run place that had a lawned area on a lake which was a nice place to chill after the many excurrsions. I opted to do them all included and optional and it was a great mix.
We visited some really nice towns and cities such as St Wolfgang and Salzburg, the sound of music city was the only bad day we had but that was because of the weather. Apparently rain is not unusual but its still an impressive place.
One of the best trips for me was the excurrsion into the Czech Republic to a place called Cesky Krumlov in Southern Bohemia, just a word of warning for anyone going, they are not on the Euro so is an idea to take your credit card. Cafes will take the Euro but when a few of us visited the castle they wouldn't so paid on my card.Other trips took us to some beautiful lakes, can't remember all of the names but it was a really good mix of places to visit.
Another word of warning to those that like a drink and a little story. A few of us went down to the village one night and visited the local bar. Had a bit of a late one and was walking back to the hotel at about 1am when all the street lights went off. We found ourselves in pitch darkness and of course its me who tripped over a kerb grazing my elbow in the process. Wasn't that drunk honest.
Got to mention another night they had traditional Austrian dancers on at the hotel, and guess who they picked on to teach a few moves.Here are a few more photos from this trip, not sure they do it justice :-
