The gadget's name is a bit of a mouthful so let's just call it CADTAC. Now the CADTAC is no ordinary travel adapter.

The Top 10 Things To See And Do In Salzburg: Authentic Austrian Food
A tiny walk away from the hostel you will find a restaurant called Die Weisse at number ten, Rupertgasse. This eatery serves up the real deal in Austrian food and it isn't afraid to employ a hefty amount of taste enhancing, deep fat frying! A top tip to bust through the fat as it settles in your stomach and kills you appetite - is to sample a few shots of schnapps. This might sound like a throw back, drinking tip from the days of student bar crawls but the Schnapps in Salzburg isn't the cut price rubbish, found in budget bars. The alcohol actually alleviates the overwhelming sense that your stomach might be about to explode in the middle of the restaurant, and it doesn't go straight to your head – straight away. Die Weisse is half eatery, half trendy wine bar - where the lighting is low, the beer is free flowing and the locals are good looking. For a taste of a truly authentic Austrian dish - try Kasnocken.
Top 10 Ways To Travel Light: Online Diaries
Instead of taking your entire diary just take a small note book, crammed with essential contacts and travel details. Copy everything else into an e-mail and send it to yourself. This way all your important names and numbers are stored online, they can be accessed from anywhere and if you lose your contacts book – you know it's backed up somewhere that's easy to access.
This is just the tip of the very resourceful, literary iceberg so for the full show – take a look at famoushostels.com
