Salzburg was deathly quiet on Christmas Day morning. We knew that nearly all shops in the old town were closed, apart from those run perhaps by non-Christians, so we just stayed in the room, chilled out, called our loved ones, & opened presents. We managed to drag ourselves outside in the afternoon & plonk ourselves into a lovely Italian cafe which served to-die-for hot chocolates (thick dripping chocolate - very sensual indeed).
In the evening we went out for a sumptuous dinner, including the Salzburg specialty dessert, Salzburger Nockerl. The restaurant was packed that evening & the food was absolutely divine. We both ordered the Christmas turkey which was absolutely melt-in-the-mouth. And when the Salzburger Nockerl came out, Bec instantly predicted that we’d be unable to eat it all. She was right – it was enormous! But with the soft airiness of the soufflé, & the rich sweetness of the raspberry filling, I did my very best to consume it all, but was unfortunately unsuccessful.
Filled to the brim, we headed back through the empty Aldstadt streets to the hotel & opened the last remaining presents. What a fun day! Ho! Ho! Ho!
