INNSBRUCK

With Mum and Dad looking after Ruby in Bratislava, Oscr and I headed to Innsbruck, Austria for 2 nights. The flight took less than an hour and was beautiful coming in over the Alps. Given that we had had chosen Innsbruck as it was on the list of 29 euro flights and somewhere neither of us had been, we weren't sure what to expect. The city was stunning; the view from our hotel window was like a post-card, and the sunny weather made it all the more enjoyable.

On our second day we took a funicular train then a cable car up Hafelekar peak, the conditions were perfect; nice soft snow and gorgeous sunshine in which to enjoy it all. The views were fantastic so we sat up on the peak in the sunshine having a beer and meal for an hour or so. Just when we thought it was already perfect, two musicians arrived with their Alpine horns and set up on the snow to play.

We had some delicious meals in the Old Town, schnitzels, sauerkraut, venison and strudel. Ruby had enjoyed her time with Mamma and Dadda of course - not sure what she'll do when they return to Australia.
