We rented a car in Vienna for our road trip to explore the other towns in Austria. The first stop was Krems (lower austria), about 70 km west of Vienna.
Standing in front of Steiner Tor, a preserved gate built in the 15th century. This is considered the symbol of the city of Krems. There are lots of shops and restaurants along this stretch.
Dessert was something different too and it was oohhh so delicious. We had their signature Apricot Tiramisu. Apricots was in season when we were in Wachau. This is definitely a must try when dining at the restaurant.

We stopped over for lunch and had a taste of Austria's beef goulash.
On our journey towards St. Wolfgang, we drove past many wine yards in Wachau.
We stumbled upon a truck BBQ-ing delicious mackerel. This fish only cost us 4euros and the lady kindly gave us 2 pieces of bread. I wished I had the stomach for another fish.
We made a pit stop at Dunabe Valley where everyone was frolicking in the waters, hoping to catch the last glimpse of sunlight before the dark clouds loom over.
It started drizzling thereafter but we made it safe and sound to our lodging along Lake Wolfgangsee. This was where we stayed for a night and it oversees the lake.
The lake is beautiful at night but I am not able to fully capture the beauty with my camera. It was so peaceful and tranquil at night.
In the day, it looked as captivating and magical.
St Wolfgang is a small little town that can be covered easily on foot. It is very relaxing just to stroll along the small streets and looking at the small little shops.
The famous White horse Inn, made popular due to the musical comedy.
From St. Wolfgang, we made our way back to Wachau where we stayed for another night before heading back to Vienna. Along the way, we stopped over at Salzburg, the fourth largest city in Austria. One will also relate Salzburg to The Sound of Music as well as the birth place of Mozart.
The image of Mozart can be seen everywhere, with cafes and shops selling everything that is related to Mozart.
Mozart's birth place. This museum was packed with tourist.
We strolled along Salzach which is the main river in the Austria state of Salzburg.
Salzburg is a vibrant city with lots to do and see. However due to time constraint, tt was only a short stop over for us. At least we had a feel of what Salzburg is like. From here, we continued our drive towards Vienna. We stayed a night at Wachau, a place in lower Austria known for its high quality wines
Arriving at our guesthouse.
We read many good reviews on the restaurant of our guesthouse and we were not disappointed. I had a wonderful meal comprising of 3 different fishes which I still do not know what I ate haha. We asked the waitress about the fishes but they were not names we were familiar with.
