We returned to the hotel, got ourselves prepared for the train to Salzburg the next morning and headed out to dinner. We chose a restaurant around the corner from our hotel where we had eaten breakfast. Oddly, particularly compared to our trip to Scandinavia 2 years prior, where they are moving towards a virtually cashless society, the establishment only accepted cash. The evening was pleasant and we ate outside.
I don't eat out often, but when I do, I sometimes like to observe the other diners and try to figure out their stories and their relation to one another. That evening we watched with amazement and amusement as a table full of locals, 4 men, 3 of which appeared to be gay, 2 of them appeared to be a couple, and 2 women downed shot after shot of what appeared to be Jagermeister, getting progressively drunk and sloppy in the process. There was a part of us that wanted to stay and watch them attempt to stagger away, but we did have a train to catch the next morning. After a small, single glass of wine, we headed back to our bed to get the first decent nights sleep of the trip.
