We took a bus to many of the places from the movie. The tour guide gave us a rundown of what really happened while filming the movie. "Debunking" they called it (oh, close your ears!). It was an informational bus tour with the Sound of Music songs playing, and yes, you were encouraged to sing along :) Funny!
Our "party" bus. Note the "Albus" name. The same bus company as the one in the movie :)
The famous gazebo . . . "You are sixteen, going on seventeen . . ."
The Lake District where some of the movie was filmed.
In the background is the palace where they sat out on the deck drinking the pink lemonade, and the VonTrapp children fell in the water (for all of you Sound of Music fans). We are actually standing ON the frozen lake.
So, yeah, the tour was fun, glad we did it, and yep, you really don't need to share this little tidbit of information with everyone. It'll be our little secret. As we left the bus, they played the "So long, farewell" song. he he
That's so cool! I hadn't realized the Sound of Music was filmed in those parts! I would have loved that tour! Thanks for sharing.
