To start out, everyone must wear these very attractive white 2-piece outfits. We were definitely stylin'!
We hopped on a train type thing where everyone straddled the seat and scrunched together. Down into the mine we went. This mine is no longer a working mine as it is not economical anymore, but Salzburg was a very wealthy city due to the salt coming out of this mine. The red blob in the pic below is salt.
The tour is a series of films with displays that take you through the old-time mining process.
The best part is when you slide down these wooden rails - something like 150 feet . It was pretty cool and we did two of these, continuing to go deeper into the mine. Actually a very large part of this mine is in Germany not Austria. Then, you take a little boat across water and this huge salt crystal is at the end.
We're leaving Salzburg tomorrow and driving through Hallstatt and heading for Linz. We fly home on Saturday. Mine brither tells me that Lufthansa might go on strike on Feb. 25. They can do what they want after I get home!

Gwen wants to see a photo of the train type thing you rode on.
I don't have a picture of the train, but we did buy the picture of us coming down the slide. We're pretty funny looking!
