Day 5&6
On the 5th day which was July 24th, we went to the salt mines. We took a private bus to the middle of nowhere in Salzburg. You had to put on these poncho pants and take a little train car thing into the mine. Then you slid down a weird train track. We each got a little bottle of salt afterwards. There was also a lake underground and you took a boat across it. Like the one I went to in Wien. I didn't get any pictures because it was too dark. That night we went to the Hellbrun palace. We had to take 3 trains to get there. The students from last session had already done the tour so they went to the park on the grounds. We took a tour of the gardens and tried to avoid the trick fountains. The Arch Bishop who built the castle liked to play tricks on people, so he had it built with secret fountains that went off and soaked you.
July 25th- Today we had a test in Deutsch. Then the people who signed up for white water rafting left at 1:15. It was really fun, I didn't get to take my phone but the scenery really made it worth it. You were rafting in the middle of a river between mountains. It was absolutely gorgeous. I got pushed in the FREEZING water 4 times. We had to wear wetsuits so it was only cold for a few minutes. They played a game where you run around on the raft but the guides pushed us in.
