People like Kirsten and Joerg and Sara and Kevin and their kids are every immigration officer's dream. Your approach to moving to another country is hilarious, delightful, humble and exemplary. Thank you so very very much for allowing us to follow your adventures and your amazing exploits. You are all so lovable and charming. Thank you so much for shining a warm and soothing light into the world in these tough times. ❤
The houses there are just simply stunning! The landscape is magical. One day maybe I can travel to Germany and see where my roots are from. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful adventures with us. It's an opportunity to sneak away in my mind to places of beauty and solitude... Thank you
Oh my gosh, Kirsten and Sara are too stinking cute! This was so wonderful, so beautiful to see, already friends, and yet you're meeting for the first time! My face hurts from smiling, and I am almost crying. xoxo's Sandie🤗
You and your husband always fill me with joy. This is a great video. I have been following Sarah and Kevin since they moved to Germany, and I have been following you just a little bit longer. Love you and Jurg to bits.
Dear Kirsten, This was fantastic! I am a HUGE fan and subscriber of both your channels. Your content does an amazing job of sharing your perspectives as expats, combined with wonderful travel videos. So very happy the two of you had a chance to meet and spend time together. Next visit please be sure to bring Joerg!!!❤
This Vlog is wonderful. 35yrs ago I studied the life and works of Mozart for my music degree and yet I have never had the opportunity to visit Salzburg. What a beautiful city. Lovely too for you to meet your friend from the USA. Thank you for sharing this video with us all xxx
Small world, everyone! My father is of German-Austrian & English descent...I greatly enjoy hearing & watching Kirsten & Jorg speaking German reminding me of the elder family when I was young. Their many beautiful tours to many locations are fun & entertaining & offer so much nice information. My mother is Scotch-Irish & English...Kirsten & Jorg visit those areas too which is such a bonus. Presently I also live in Tennessee very near the historic birthplace of American country music in Bristol, Tennessee/Virginia which are very close to the wonderful scenic Smokey Mountains. I also felt the first breezes of early Autumn earlier today, but the day was sunny & still warm enough.
How wonderful to meet in person, a fellow UA-camr, and friend. Though a rainy visit, it didn’t look like it dampened your fun! Germany has so many beautiful and unique towns, I can see what drew them to it.
I'm so glad you could meet your friend in person. It was an amazing video! I'm from Brazil and I also have some friends that I don't know in person, I hope I get the opportunity to meet them!
Just loved seeing Salzburg again. Visited there 25 years ago and probably won't ever have another opportunity. Great memories for you to treasure with your friends.
You had a real adventure, you two. That was a special treat to see two friends meet for the first time. It seems as though you both clicked. It was fun to see you laughing and chatting together. Kirsten, you reminded me the last time I was in Salzberg was in 1992 for the Christkindlmarkt. The weather was much colder and snowing but it was just as memorable and gorgeous as what you showed. I remember the Sacher Torte at the Cafe Sacher, too. Lovely!
What a delightful girlie vlog. Kirsten , I too had this American family come up in my feed. A happy family to enjoy. So glad you have made a special friend. Salzburg was lovely, especially the church. Thankyou from Tasmania.
Thanks so much Pam! I'm so happy that I do have quite a few friends in the US (and also lots of family), it's wonderful! Yes, Salzburg is a beautiful place.
Kirsten, your pastry dessert is called 'mille feuille' (in French anyway). What a beautiful and very elegant hotel! Typical Austrian fall weather, a little chilly, a little rainy but very beautiful all the same. Everything about Salzburg is magnificent! Thank you ladies! What a charming and entertaining video! I'm glad your adventure ended happily and without an international incident! LOL!
That is awesome that you got to meet a friend there and you can still keep being friends in Europe. That is a lovely story and a lovely time that you two had together. I often do tea myself with friends here in Cincinnati Ohio at a tea room in Waynesville Ohio. I certainly do love the way the Europeans do things. 🥰
Germany is very beautiful, I loved traveling there and in Europe when my sister lived in Germany for 15 years. It's so clean and beautiful. Thanks for sharing your travels so I can dream of travel again. I will have to look up Sara's channel now!
What an uplifting vlog, will definitely take a look on her channel. Loved seeing Salzburg again. We were there in December 2007 for the Christmas markets. Such a beautiful place to visit. I remember we had lunch in a cafe owned by a lovely German man. He was so funny and the food was delicious. We ended up showing each other photos of our grandchildren. He also took particular interest that we were from Wales. Would visit Austria and Germany again in a heartbeat. Lovely places with lovely people xx
It was heart warming to see your connection with Sara. What fun you two had and it was lovely to go along on your first memory making trip together. Your reactions to the train trip adventure back was hilarious. Your joy is infectious. Thank you.
Such a delightful video! I’m forwarding it to my daughter for my grandchildren. We’re in The States and on the fourth generation to love The Sound of Music! Thank you! ❤️
This is such a fascinating and fun video!! I just subscribed to Sara’s channel! I loved all your shared laughter on your adventure to Salzburg!! Being a piano teacher.. I loved all the Mozart sites as well as the stunning cathedral where Captain von Trapp married Maria !! I can’t remember when I have been so engrossed and happy watching a video.. and all of yours are so beautiful.. fun to see your friendship grow as well. I loved that Sacher torte!! 😋 Wunderbar !!!! ❤
I'm so happy you met a new American friend, Kirsten. I know this is 4 months ago and I have subscribed to your channel and to Sara's. You two must be best friends by now. Bad weather didn't stop you two from having a good time! I actually like the colder season and rain or cloudy days don't bother me. Take care. xooxo
Thank you for sharing your new American friend, it made my heart soar to see you woman connect from different backgrounds to a common ground. Think of all the wonderful people out there that we will never meet, my late husband used to laugh at me when I would say that. So happy you got to spend time together.❤️🎈❤️🎈
Adorable! Two very gorgeous women whose light radiated so bright! This truly is beauty in its purest form. To experience, share, encourage and champion. Love the church bells and countryside too. ❤️ Well done, Ladies!!
I loved Salzburg, will never forget the view from atop the fortress. Thanks for the return visit to the baroque beauty. In 1985 no one checked or stamped my passport, just held up your blue passport and they waived you through.
Dear Kirsten, your gluten free cake in Salzburg is called "Mille feuilles" which means a thousand leaves ! I' ve just subscribed To Sara's channel! So great! Thank you very much for sharing with all of us your adventure ! Bisous from Alsace 🤗😘
@@KirstenJoerg It's an Esterházy-Schnitte, named after Fürst Esterházy an Austro-Hungarian peer and diplomat from the 18th/19th century. The very wealthy Esterházy family was also famous for their patronage of artists like Josef Haydn. Schloss Esterházy in Burgenland, Austria is a very worthwhile destination to visit also. 🙂
@@KirstenJoerg Haserlschnitte sounds cute. I love the way Austrians talk. Eichkatzerl anstatt Eichhoernchen. Thank you so much for your wonderful Video... watching you from Canada. I am from Nuernberg, Franken/Bayern. I know Salzburg and I had tears in my eyes....I love Sacher Torte mit Sahne. I am happy for you and Sara. Be well everyone and take care❣🌍🌳
This was such an amusing video. Kirsten, you and Sarah are so adorable.😍 One can see at once that you two are meant to be friends. Wouldn't it be fun, if they come to visit you and Jörg in the UK? Anyway, love your Salzburg adventure and the Hotel Sacher and the lovely cakes, the Sound of music film sets.. And of course the sound of those beautiful church bells. 😊💖
How wonderful this video, capturing real friendship , Joy and Laughter and Beautiful Salzburg, Thank you Kirsten for sharing your wonderful visit with your American friend . Mary Canada 🍁
Oh, what a great opportunity to meet each other! A lovely look around Salzburg, you both obviously had a fantastic time together! Yes, you need to keep in touch with each other and I hope we will see another visit with you two together again. Cheers!
How wonderful to meet each other in person! I watch both your channels! Sara is right. I love your videos when I came across them! The antiques, the English countryside, the gardens and everything in between. Great video!
Oh Kirsten that was such a lovely video. Sarah is a doll and I can see why you made friends so easily with her. Salzburg was beautiful to see. I have to tell you something funny. The wallpaper in the ladies room that you loved is the same wallpaper I have in my powder room. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. I added it as a little bit of humor in my formal English inspired townhome in Virginia. Hugs,😍
That's so kind, thank you so much! Oh my, is it? I actually messaged Hotel Sacher about the wallpaper but heaven't heard back yet. Which brand is it? I love it so much.
@@KirstenJoerg I loved the wallpaper very much as well and did a google picture search. Guess what, it is from britain. It is Fornisetti Teatro from cole&son :-)
I lived in Holland in the 70’s when my husband transferred there. It was an amazing experience and how I wish we had utube then. I kept a journal I called “ The Happy Hollander”. It’s such an amazing experience to live abroad. I had to learn to speak Dutch very quickly because 2 young children lived next door and thought I was stupid 😂😊. When I returned to the US I told everyone that Europeans were 60 years behind us or 100 years ahead of us because they recycled everything, biked everywhere, created green spaces in every area. I also became a coffee lover because every day regardless of what was happening everyone stopped around 4pm to have coffee. It was an amazing experience and we travelled to many country. Everyone should try to visit other countries. It’s a wonderful world. Thank you Kristen❤️❤️
We so agree, it's great to visit other countries. Oh we think European countries are very very advanced and quite ahead in a lot of things but again, we can only learn from each other and that's a wonderful thing.x
I really love church bells to having been born and raised in Paris. I heard that Americans long ago complained about church bell sound and so they were banned because of the complaints. Another cultural difference between the two hemispheres. I totally sympathize with the love of European culture and living in Vermont it’s quite wonderful but I do miss it over there. I am so happy you did this video I will now check out my Merry messy life!
Thanks for sharing your new friend Sara/family and trip together to beautiful Salzburg. I, too, love Bavaria (fortunately been there several times). However, due to Covid have rescheduled a trip to Salzburg three times. Hopefully, next year. Maybe Sara can visit you in England. Best wishes from US Connecticut.
Loved the video !! ..I just got home from Salzburg where I guide tours.....but I hope you dont mind if I correct something.....Maria Von Trapp was a Postulant at NONNBERG ABBEY, not St Peters where you mentioned.. they also married in Nonnberg Abbey church...not St Peters. The church for the wedding in the movie was St Michael's at Mondsee . :-) ...
This was really nice to watch! I agree with Sarah, Americans love the Sound Of Music! Even my 16 year old son likes it! 😊 It was fun to see the “ goulash”. My German grandma used to make it and it was delicious. Thanks you sharing your adventure!
Kirsten, your and Sara's enjoyment of one another's company was contagious and I couldn't help smiling throughout the entire Vlog. Bavaria was just lovely and Salzburg, well stunning! The Hotel Sacher was stylish and sophisticated and the Church, as you stated, was like walking into a museum. When some people ask me about the weather in Europe my answer is "Bring an umbrella and a jacket but remember the weather is not important!" Sara was completely spot on about the quality of your Videography...if you haven't before perhaps you could share the equipment you and Joerg prefer to use in the description of a future Vlog. Again, Kirsten beautiful content!
Thank you so much, that's so kind! I can add our equipment in the description box for future videos (sadly creating an extra video wouldn't be good for our niche if that makes sense).
Hello Kirsten I absolutely loved that gorgeous church this vlog was amazing yet again. I now have the travel bug.. ps I followed your friend also. Thanks again for another beautiful vlog.. that chocolate cake still on my 💋
This is so wonderful Kirsten, you had the opportunity to meet your friend in a place you all adore.. it’s so amazing how families can make such a big move to far away places and put their fears aside and just do it! Loved your vlog.. everything looked stunning..and you both looked so happy to be spending time together.. thank you
Totally understand. I have four kids of different age groups and we have been so back and forth about moving back to the U.K.over the years, always so worried about uprooting them, job situation etc so…alas our shipped has sailed without us on it! But great opportunities can arise at different times, in the meantime I will enjoy your beautiful travels.
Another wonderful video, thank you. Sara is such a charming and beautiful lady. Glad that you had so much fun, despite the nasty weather. Also the video reminds me to definitely go to Salzburg ... as long as the flight route Luebeck--Salzburg still exists 😁.
Such a lovely, heartwarming video. It was so lovely for you to meet Sara and her family, and to share it with us. Saltsburg is so gorgeous. It was lovely to see it and you did marvellously despite the rain. It was a beautifully made collaboration. I hope Sarah will also share this video on her channel. I've signed up to it, I'm sure I'll enjoy her videos. I did laugh when you said pi55ed ... As if course it can have 2 meanings hohoho. Cheerio for now. Lots of love, from Stella x ❤️🌹
Such a special 1st time visit. Lovely video as always. Will check out her vlog..As an American,who is well up in my years,my father's family was in Alsace,Germany, they were farmers, wine makers. would love to travel.also family in Colmar and Steasburg. would love to see Austria. Have been to England and France,both places I loved. so enjoy your video and warm friendship.
Wow! Another beautiful video! Such beautiful scenery, homes and churches. I loved the friendship between the two of you. It made me feel like I was along with you. You seem like best friends with all your giggles even when things went wrong. Love to you both. ❤❤❤
This is super cool! Looks like ya'll had a great time meeting in person and getting to travel together. Such fun times. Thank you for sharing your travels with us. Already subscribed to Sarah's page, thank you for the recommendation Kristin! Nia to meet you Sarah. Blessings from IA ❤️
This was the most enjoyable vlog ive seen in ages, the country is very scenic and beautiful.. what a lovely person sara is, very natural and bubbly. enjoyed it immensley. Thank you Kirsten for taking us along xxx💋💋
Loved this video, especially all the references to the sound of music. I love Salzburg. There seem to be more checks on trains according to my daughter, who lives in Berlin and sometimes travels to Poland.
Oh Kirsten, you made me homesick for Germany, where I spent some of my childhood years. It is so very beautiful. I think your American friend is lovely, and will be looking up her You Tube soon.
Hi Kirsten, fantastic video and I love your new friends, you were meant to be best friends, your country is so beautiful Kirsten, maybe they can come to the UK and you can show them some of the lovely places you and Joerg love to visit, much love xxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kirsten, Maria von Trapp's book is also excellent. My daughter visited the von Trapp lodge in Vermont, USA and she bought it for me. Maria von Trapp was really quite the matriarch. You will love it.
The Dessert is Napoleon, I love them! I live in Texas, U.S. I was addicted to fresh Napoleons but Eclairs are easier to find. I like custard & layers in the Napoleon. Today any Pastry will fix my craving. You & Joerg truly have my heart with each Cafe & Bakery you visit 🥰 ✨
What fun! I’ll have to check out Sarah’s channel. My sister and her family lived 6 years in Germany and my family lived in Spain (military families) and it makes me think that if UA-cam had been a thing then how we could have shared our experiences! Germany is such a fairytale country, so beautiful, whimsical and clean!! Fond memories galore. I miss living in Europe, especially the cafe life and getting to walk to shops and restaurants and the parks/gardens!!! Oh and I also miss how the cakes and pastries are not sickly sweet!!!! There was a hazelnut pastry, kind of like a Danish, that I used to get in Germany that was perfect with coffee. I also sent back coffee and brandy filled chocolates to my “German parents”(best friend’s parents) before World Market, Lidl and Aldi were in the USA!
love the video, so good to meet op with friends. Ilove Germany, and i have been to Salzburg and saw the apotheek inside!! Love the silver thea_thing with the mill from Sara. I come from Zaandam, Holland.
Here again! The Sound of Music!😁There is no other reason to visit our beautieful historic city!😁😁😁 Most of us( 95%Austrians) havent ever seen this Movie! Me too but i know one song that was played ! "My favorite Things"(the version of Forestella)!😁
Oh wow! This was such a fun video 𝑩𝒖𝒕…. The scenery in Austria 🇦🇹 and Bavaria ❤ is breathtaking ♥️😮♥️! Kirsten, you just make everywhere you go magical when filled with your lovely and kind self ♥️ @Kirsten & Joerg: 2 Germans in Britain Thank you for this! Just what I needed today
so glad you met your AMERICAN FRIENDS and going to different places was beauitful Kristne im finally getting a mason cash bowl and it looks like yours and pink like yours im so excited ,,,
Aww I loved this vlog ❤️ you & Sara looked like you’ve been friends for years! What a lovely person she is. I think she looks a bit like the American singer Katy Perry. The Sound of music is one of my favourite films from childhood ❤ I watched it every Christmas with my family. I knew all the songs as I watched it so much☺️ was great to see some of the places from the film. I laughed so much at your re-action to border control, so funny! 😂 missed Jeorg. Much love Kirsten ❤️
Thanks so much Lesley! This is exactly how it felt when we met, as if we had known for many years. It was amazing. You know what? I think you're right. Sara does resemble Katy Perry.
It was so wonderful to see your time shared with Sara and the giggles and the beauty of the the places you visited. At the end with your giggles over Sara's left at home needed travel documents it was hard to not giggle, too. I met one of my dearest and closet friends on the internet through a shared enjoyment of music and we became so close that we often giggled through hours of the night with her in one country and me in another with a four hour time difference. She was one of the brightest gems in my life. Sara's china is so lovely and I love the way that you, Kirsten, handle china as you display it for the camera with such a loving touch. 💛
So joyful video ! I love so much Salzburg ! Perhaps you saw the shop "Christmas in Salzburg" which is absolutely stunning !!! It is filled with decorated eggs for Christmas trees! Thank you Kirsten and Sara for this wonderful moment 💗💗💗
Good evening Kirsten, Bless you Lovely one , Awwwww Sweetheart you so missed Joerg you two are like two peas in a Pod , it's always lovely to have time with friends but always lovely to go back Home 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹what a Beautiful Friend Kirsten XXXXXXX

That's so kind, thank you so much! Oh my, is it? I actually messaged Hotel Sacher about the wallpaper but heaven't heard back yet. Which brand is it? I love it so much.
Oh boy. I went through a decorator. I believe it’s Italian. I will look up my receipts to try to find it.
@@myhappynest6125 Oh please, don't worry about it at all. They were so kind at Sacher, I'm sure they will get back to me.
@@KirstenJoerg I loved the wallpaper very much as well and did a google picture search. Guess what, it is from britain. It is Fornisetti Teatro from cole&son :-)
@@paulfolmering8465 Yes, we found out right after we published that it's from Cole & Son. It's a great wallpaper, isn't it?
That was such a sweet ending, Kirsten! I thoroughly enjoyed your time with your new friend and her family, and the tours.
I lived in Holland in the 70’s when my husband transferred there. It was an amazing experience and how I wish we had utube then. I kept a journal I called “ The Happy Hollander”. It’s such an amazing experience to live abroad. I had to learn to speak Dutch very quickly because 2 young children lived next door and thought I was stupid 😂😊. When I returned to the US I told everyone that Europeans were 60 years behind us or 100 years ahead of us because they recycled everything, biked everywhere, created green spaces in every area. I also became a coffee lover because every day regardless of what was happening everyone stopped around 4pm to have coffee. It was an amazing experience and we travelled to many country. Everyone should try to visit other countries. It’s a wonderful world. Thank you Kristen❤️❤️
We so agree, it's great to visit other countries. Oh we think European countries are very very advanced and quite ahead in a lot of things but again, we can only learn from each other and that's a wonderful thing.x
Thank you for letting us “friend along” with you both! I enjoyed this excursion very much🌸
Thanks so much!
What a fun meet up between friends that you will both remember forever!
I really love church bells to having been born and raised in Paris. I heard that Americans long ago complained about church bell sound and so they were banned because of the complaints. Another cultural difference between the two hemispheres. I totally sympathize with the love of European culture and living in Vermont it’s quite wonderful but I do miss it over there. I am so happy you did this video I will now check out my Merry messy life!
Just subscribed to ‘My Merry Messy Life’ - can’t wait to start watching as I’m looking Woodward to see more of Germany ❤
Oh how nice! They do a bit of travel videos but mostly focus on differences between Germany and the US. Really love them.
I made about a dozen trips to Germany when our daughter was stationed there. I sure miss going. Part of my heart remained there. Rhineland area.
Thanks for sharing your new friend Sara/family and trip together to beautiful Salzburg. I, too, love Bavaria (fortunately been there several times). However, due to Covid have rescheduled a trip to Salzburg three times. Hopefully, next year. Maybe Sara can visit you in England. Best wishes from US Connecticut.
Awww our sweet Kirsten❣️Such a nice friends Sara and Kevin🍂🍂🍁Glad you had a great time!
Loved the video !! ..I just got home from Salzburg where I guide tours.....but I hope you dont mind if I correct something.....Maria Von Trapp was a Postulant at NONNBERG ABBEY, not St Peters where you mentioned.. they also married in Nonnberg Abbey church...not St Peters. The church for the wedding in the movie was St Michael's at Mondsee . :-) ...
That was so lovely! Thank you for sharing your visit with Sara. I've now subscribed to her channel too!
Such a beautiful video! You are an awesome storyteller. I thoroughly enjoyed it and your beautiful country! Thank you.
So so glad you enjoyed it!
This was really nice to watch!
I agree with Sarah, Americans love the Sound Of Music! Even my 16 year old son likes it! 😊
It was fun to see the “ goulash”. My German grandma used to make it and it was delicious.
Thanks you sharing your adventure!
Kirsten, your and Sara's enjoyment of one another's company was contagious and I couldn't help smiling throughout the entire Vlog. Bavaria was just lovely and Salzburg, well stunning! The Hotel Sacher was stylish and sophisticated and the Church, as you stated, was like walking into a museum. When some people ask me about the weather in Europe my answer is "Bring an umbrella and a jacket but remember the weather is not important!" Sara was completely spot on about the quality of your Videography...if you haven't before perhaps you could share the equipment you and Joerg prefer to use in the description of a future Vlog. Again, Kirsten beautiful content!
Thank you so much, that's so kind! I can add our equipment in the description box for future videos (sadly creating an extra video wouldn't be good for our niche if that makes sense).
You are such wonderful women! Love whatyoujust share with us! Thank you for these absolute authentic pleasurable moments !
Thank you so m much!
Your and Sara's joy, even in the rain, is contagious! I'm so glad you could meet and have fun together. 😊
Amazing, fun video. Would love to be there,all the beautiful places.
Hello Kirsten I absolutely loved that gorgeous church this vlog was amazing yet again. I now have the travel bug.. ps I followed your friend also. Thanks again for another beautiful vlog.. that chocolate cake still on my 💋
This is so wonderful Kirsten, you had the opportunity to meet your friend in a place you all adore.. it’s so amazing how families can make such a big move to far away places and put their fears aside and just do it! Loved your vlog.. everything looked stunning..and you both looked so happy to be spending time together.. thank you
Thanks so much! We really admire Sara and Kevin, it's not an easy ride with 4 children but they are doing an incredible job.
Totally understand. I have four kids of different age groups and we have been so back and forth about moving back to the U.K.over the years, always so worried about uprooting them, job situation etc so…alas our shipped has sailed without us on it! But great opportunities can arise at different times, in the meantime I will enjoy your beautiful travels.
Another wonderful video, thank you. Sara is such a charming and beautiful lady. Glad that you had so much fun, despite the nasty weather. Also the video reminds me to definitely go to Salzburg ... as long as the flight route Luebeck--Salzburg still exists 😁.
Thanks so much! Sara and her family are so wonderful!
Such a lovely, heartwarming video. It was so lovely for you to meet Sara and her family, and to share it with us. Saltsburg is so gorgeous. It was lovely to see it and you did marvellously despite the rain. It was a beautifully made collaboration. I hope Sarah will also share this video on her channel. I've signed up to it, I'm sure I'll enjoy her videos. I did laugh when you said pi55ed ... As if course it can have 2 meanings hohoho. Cheerio for now. Lots of love, from Stella x ❤️🌹
Thank you so much! Oh yes, Sara will share a video as well, I can't wait for it to watch. It was so amazing to meet all of them.
Such a special 1st time visit. Lovely video as always. Will check out her vlog..As an American,who is well up in my years,my father's family was in Alsace,Germany, they were farmers, wine makers. would love to travel.also family in Colmar and Steasburg. would love to see Austria. Have been to England and France,both places I loved. so enjoy your video and warm friendship.
Wow! Another beautiful video! Such beautiful scenery, homes and churches. I loved the friendship between the two of you. It made me feel like I was along with you. You seem like best friends with all your giggles even when things went wrong. Love to you both. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much! I know, when we met we got on instantly as if we had known each other for many years.
This is super cool! Looks like ya'll had a great time meeting in person and getting to travel together. Such fun times. Thank you for sharing your travels with us. Already subscribed to Sarah's page, thank you for the recommendation Kristin! Nia to meet you Sarah. Blessings from IA ❤️
Oh I'm so glad, it was so so amazing to finally meet, we had such a ball!
Lovely visit ladies thanks for sharing it was fun to watch!
This was the most enjoyable vlog ive seen in ages, the country is very scenic and beautiful.. what a lovely person sara is, very natural and bubbly. enjoyed it immensley. Thank you Kirsten for taking us along xxx💋💋
Loved this video, especially all the references to the sound of music. I love Salzburg. There seem to be more checks on trains according to my daughter, who lives in Berlin and sometimes travels to Poland.
Thanks so much!
Oh Kirsten, you made me homesick for Germany, where I spent some of my childhood years. It is so very beautiful. I think your American friend is lovely, and will be looking up her You Tube soon.
Thanks so much! Yes, Sara and her family are amazing people.
Absolutely Beautiful scenery Kirsten 🙏🙏🙏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌹🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️♥️💐💐💐💐💐 XXXXXXX
Hi Kirsten, fantastic video and I love your new friends, you were meant to be best friends, your country is so beautiful Kirsten, maybe they can come to the UK and you can show them some of the lovely places you and Joerg love to visit, much love xxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kirsten, Maria von Trapp's book is also excellent. My daughter visited the von Trapp lodge in Vermont, USA and she bought it for me. Maria von Trapp was really quite the matriarch. You will love it.
The Dessert is Napoleon, I love them! I live in Texas, U.S. I was addicted to fresh Napoleons but Eclairs are easier to find. I like custard & layers in the Napoleon. Today any Pastry will fix my craving. You & Joerg truly have my heart with each Cafe & Bakery you visit 🥰 ✨
Oh it's not I'm afraid, it's called Esterhárzy Schnitte, a cake the Empress Sissi absolutely loved.
What fun! I’ll have to check out Sarah’s channel. My sister and her family lived 6 years in Germany and my family lived in Spain (military families) and it makes me think that if UA-cam had been a thing then how we could have shared our experiences! Germany is such a fairytale country, so beautiful, whimsical and clean!! Fond memories galore. I miss living in Europe, especially the cafe life and getting to walk to shops and restaurants and the parks/gardens!!! Oh and I also miss how the cakes and pastries are not sickly sweet!!!! There was a hazelnut pastry, kind of like a Danish, that I used to get in Germany that was perfect with coffee. I also sent back coffee and brandy filled chocolates to my “German parents”(best friend’s parents) before World Market, Lidl and Aldi were in the USA!
What a lovely, heartwarming video....hope you all get to meet up again soon.
Thanks so much!
It always lovely to see friends and it looks like you had a lovely time 🌿
Thank you so much!
Bavaria is so beautiful. I love especially the Allgäu. Beside the UK the Allgäu is my favourite place to be.
Yes, Bavaria is so gorgeous, we simply love it.
I remember having purchase some of the candy there. We were there 30 years ago! You brought back many memories of our time there
love the video, so good to meet op with friends. Ilove Germany, and i have been to Salzburg and saw the apotheek inside!! Love the silver thea_thing with the mill from Sara. I come from Zaandam, Holland.
Here again! The Sound of Music!😁There is no other reason to visit our beautieful historic city!😁😁😁 Most of us( 95%Austrians) havent ever seen this Movie! Me too but i know one song that was played ! "My favorite Things"(the version of Forestella)!😁
Oh wow! This was such a fun video 𝑩𝒖𝒕…. The scenery in Austria 🇦🇹 and Bavaria ❤ is breathtaking ♥️😮♥️! Kirsten, you just make everywhere you go magical when filled with your lovely and kind self ♥️
@Kirsten & Joerg: 2 Germans in Britain
Thank you for this! Just what I needed today
That's so kind, thank you so much!
so glad you met your AMERICAN FRIENDS and going to different places was beauitful Kristne im finally getting a mason cash bowl and it looks like yours and pink like yours im so excited ,,,
A friend forever, such a wonderful thing to say. Thank you for this video filled with happiness.
I subscribed to her channel. She is sympathetic and looks genuine.
Aww I loved this vlog ❤️ you & Sara looked like you’ve been friends for years! What a lovely person she is. I think she looks a bit like the American singer Katy Perry. The Sound of music is one of my favourite films from childhood ❤ I watched it every Christmas with my family. I knew all the songs as I watched it so much☺️ was great to see some of the places from the film. I laughed so much at your re-action to border control, so funny! 😂 missed Jeorg. Much love Kirsten ❤️
Thanks so much Lesley! This is exactly how it felt when we met, as if we had known for many years. It was amazing. You know what? I think you're right. Sara does resemble Katy Perry.
It was so wonderful to see your time shared with Sara and the giggles and the beauty of the the places you visited. At the end with your giggles over Sara's left at home needed travel documents it was hard to not giggle, too. I met one of my dearest and closet friends on the internet through a shared enjoyment of music and we became so close that we often giggled through hours of the night with her in one country and me in another with a four hour time difference. She was one of the brightest gems in my life. Sara's china is so lovely and I love the way that you, Kirsten, handle china as you display it for the camera with such a loving touch. 💛
Thank you so much! Because the control was quite stressful, we giggled so much in the end, it was hilarious.
What a joyful video. In every way. Beautiful beautiful. Thank you both♥️🙏
Thanks so much!
Surrounded by so much beauty there the rain doesn’t matter at all
Yes, it's so so beautiful!
So joyful video ! I love so much Salzburg ! Perhaps you saw the shop "Christmas in Salzburg" which is absolutely stunning !!! It is filled with decorated eggs for Christmas trees! Thank you Kirsten and Sara for this wonderful moment 💗💗💗

Das macht richtig Spaß euch alle zusammen im Austausch zu sehen.
Macht ihr eventuell auch mal ein Video mit Lauren?
Lieben Gruß 🌷
Vielen lieben Dank! Welche Lauren meinst du denn?
@@KirstenJoerg
Lauren von "Lauren in Germany".
Sie ist eine walische Opernsängerin, die schon lange in Deutschland wohnt (glaube, sie ist auch mit einem Deutschen verheiratet) und macht schöne Videos von Deutschland, wie ihr von Großbritannien.
@@KirstenJoerg Sie meint wahrscheinlich "Lauren in Germany", die auch einen wundervollen UA-cam Kanal hat. Liebe Grüße
