Innsbruck


We trained from Vienna to Innsbruck, just under 5 hours on the train. The weather has not been great and seemed to be even worse when we arrived in Innsbruck. It was raining on and off and unseasonably cold. And in typical Lisa and Ctos style, we continued to wear our Birkenstocks (definitely my shoe of choice... just like Auntie Linda!) This was cause for lots of staring as we walked through the quaint old town.

Innsbruck is a beautiful place, burrowed in between the snowcapped mountains. Full of tourists, it is a great place biking, hiking and skiing enthusiasts. Our visit here was only one night and in the early evening the light rain gave way to an all night downpour. Locals indicated that Innsbruck is actually well known for its good weather and this was an anomaly. In warm sunny weather, this place would be incredible. We saw the golden roof and visited the museum to learn more about it.

By far, the best thing about Austria is the beer.
