Guten Morgen- Good Morning
Guten Abend- Good Evening
guten Nachmittag for Good Afternoon but I believe rarely use the greeting.
Hallo for hello
Tschüss for bye in informal
Danke is Thank you
It would be a long list to go on further with the common greetings.
We have stayed in Salzburg for 3 days. We came from Vienna by train. Latter is by far the easiest and most convenient way to travel from Vienna to Salzburg (or the other way round).
grabbing something to break fast before heading to the station
Vienna Station
Trains run from before 6 am until just before midnight from Vienna; from Salzburg to the capital, trains depart from after 2 am until 9:30 pm. The train ride takes about 2 hours and 40 minutes if you get one that stops only in Linz (that would be the fastest trains available); trains depart on an almost hourly basis in both cities. Trains are a fast, comfortable and environmentally friendly way to travel. The sceneries is non-alpine areas though.
You can check from this site the cost of travel by train to and from Austria and within the regions and cities of Austria

I would be uploading to youtube the photos taken during our train travel from Vienna to Austria
We arrived in Salzburg on 09 June 2013. As early as September 2012, we have booked our reservation at Bloberger hof through Booking.com. We have booked a car also for use in 2 days.
Salzburg Station
Once arrived at The Salzburg train station, me and my husband walked off to pick up the rented car. We left our 2 girls with our luggage at the station. No worries, it is safe compare to Gare du Nord in Paris. We chained and locked together our luggage though, would be so much trouble for someone who try to take one or two as they have to take them all. I believe we did the chaining after we took the photo below. The first 2 luggage on the left are not ours.
We decided to book at Bloberger Hof after reading the great reviews on Booking and Tripadvisor. The family run inn hotel-pension is a 15 minute drive from the city. The bus stop is across the street and an easy ride (about 20 minutes) to downtown. Bus No. 21 stops only a few yards/meters away from the hotel itself.
The hotel and grounds are spotlessly clean and the owners are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was also great, with fresh eggs made to order, juice, meats, cheeses and fresh bread. They serve dinner too but unable to try, we always came late at night.
The hotel has laundry service. Then was 15 euros for 5 kgs. We had 10kgs to wash on the 4th day of our trip (1st days was in Vienna)

an enchanting mountain in the surroundings of Salzburg that is very accessible. It is the biggest mountain near Salzburg and can be explored with ease of comfort by using a cable car. The Untersberg is very near in Germany and serves as natural border.

The German side of the mountain was the movie location in the last part of the movie, Sound of Music, where the Von Trapp family escaped to Switzerland. Border were closed so they had crossed the mountain.
