salzburg

In a manic episode of escapism, and really do not inquire me why, I happened to grab the film “Sound of Music” off the shelf. In a recent submit, I shared not seeing “Lord of the Rings.” I will have to apologize nonetheless once more I haven’t noticed this classic in its entirety, until final evening.

What struck me wasn’t the music, or these frisky Von Trapp young children (however I should consider a web page from their useful joke guide), it was the dramatic scenery behind individuals timeless “Sound of Music” shots the mountains, abbeys, and fountains.  I identified out, the majority of individuals took location in and close to Salzburg, Austria (pictured above), a spot I require to get to, and quickly.

What videos out there have you employed as travel inspiration? A lot of destinations, like Austria, have under no circumstances truly crossed my mind as a location till I am reminded of their splendor on the significant screen. I’m sure this happens to all of us.

This BraveNewTraveler Weblog, listing twenty best travel films, will certainly give you some concepts. I’ll break the ice and give up a favourite of mine, “Into the Wild.”

Leave a comment with your suggestions I’m always searching for a superior flick. We know Matt is, he suffered by means of, err, watched “He’s Just Not That Into You” on his way back from Africa. Yikes.
