Munich,Saltzburg and Vienna tour during Snowstorm

This trip was magical...after we pretended we were on the Great Race! About an hour before we were to land in Munich the pilot announced we would be landing in Frankfort due to snow. He said we would get further instructions but we didn't. After landing several "official" cars arrived at the stranded jet parking lot. We were told many flights had to cancel ,ours being one . And that was it. A woman I assume from United was at the top of the stairs. I asked how far Frankfort was from Munich. She didn't know🫣 Long storyshort, found a train to Nuremberg, luckily found a room and waited to try and get to Munich the next day,the start of the tour. The next day still no trains,one seat on an afternoon bus so we taxied to Munich,an hour and a half away. I won't think about the cost because the tour was great. Our great tour guide Barbara was able to stay flexible and we only had a few changes.Christmas markets with snow on the pines was beyond believe. I think it was like labor. After the terrible trip in,the beauty of Munich and Saltzburg and the mountains covered with snow in Halstatt were just beyond description. We even made our way to the salt mine in Halstatt and went down 2 wooden slides! Our tour ended in Vienna (where it snowed lighty again) at the beautiful Kaiserhof Hotel. Mr. Steves really up his game with this place!!
All in all a most memorable trip! Thank you Barbara S. for taking us to Artetten Castle where Franz Ferdinand and his wife are buried. Hearing the history of the start of WW1 and seeing how our history is repeating its self now was quite an eye opener!
