Trip to Salzburg (Austria)

It was time again to make a trip to Austria this August. The "usual" group of cavy breeders ("El Cobaya", "Lunabakelo" + myself) visited a caviary with wonderful Shorthairs. To make the trip even more enjoyable, we spent the day looking around in Salzburg. It is a beautiful old town with an amazing historical city, wonderful parks, and a unique atmosphere. Lots of old trees and various flowers all around.
In the afternoon, we visited the zoo. Maybe, it is not the biggest zoo in the world, but definitely worth visiting. I think it is the most humane zoo in the world. All animals have huge runs (I would rather say: landscapes) with lots of plants, ponds, brooks. No bars at all! The whole area is very well cared for. Fresh water and food for the animals everywhere. Everyhting is clean and tidy. Well done, dear zookeepers!

Yes, it's me: a typical tourist: wants to be in the photo everywhere!:


Just one of the several fountains in the parks:

Great look everywhere: big mountains around Salzburg:

A special shop for Sacher cake (Sacher-Torte)!:

Modern art is represented, too: a cyclist in the street:

The house where Mozart was born:

Very nice, narrow streets in the city:

My favourite animal in the zoo:

Alpacas in all possible colours:

CAVIES!!! They also had a huge run with lots of hiding places and food:

Capibaras: relatives of cavies. The babies were really cute running around and jumping on the adults:

This is where zebres, antelopes and rhinos live. A huge field with high trees:
