Salzburg, Vienna, Plitvice questions
 
I have a few questions.

Due to occasional car sickness I was wondering if any of you know about how curvy the following drives are on a bus. I am usually fine but once in a while if the road is quite curvy I can turn green. I'd hate to pop a Dramomine for nothing because I want wine with every meal. :)

Student Agency bus from Prague to Cesky Krumlov
From Cesky Krumlov to Salzburg (Driver)
Bus from Zagreb to Plitvice Lakes

And lastly, we will be riding a train from Salzburg to Vienna. I see two train options. OBB and Railjet. I notice the duration times are different. Does anyone know this train ride well? I would like the prettiest of the rides if there is a difference(I am assuming they go along the same tracks but who knows) and if not which is the better train? Also, do you know if I should purchase my train tickets now as we will be riding Sept. 15th?

Any other hot advice on food I would appreciate. Windsor, Prague, Salzburg, Vienna, Dubrovnik, Cavtat and Zagreb.

Thanks!

I took Student Agency bus from Prague to Cesky Krumlov and I do not recall it being a curvy ride. Very affordable, too. Regarding duration times from Salzburg to Vienna, I think some are express trains. I went with the shorter time.

My 2009 report on restaurants in and around Croatia is probably too out-of-date to be useful, but if you are interested, click on my name to find it (its in the trip reports section). I covered some restaurants in Dubrovnik and Zagreb.
