Austria.....Rainy days


Hello again to everyone! To update everyone, we left Regensurg and headed to Salzburg Austria! The hills were not so much alive, as they say in the sound of music, very rainy and cloudy! We could tell that the mountains were there, and if there was sun, it would have been a very pretty area. The first day we took advantage of just overcast skies, and we walked around the town, through Maribellgardens, and all around old town. We had our first bad dinner, at a spaghetti place, yuck! The next morning we walked to the cathedral and then to the castle on the hill looking over Salzburg! Despite the clouds and the rain it was still beautiful, and we got a tour of part of the castle. We went back to the hotel to dry off and relaxed! After a great dinner, cheap too, at a nearby Indigo Restaurant, we went back to the hotel and things got stressful! We were trying to head to venice for the weekend, keep in mind its May day, so.....everything was booked!!! Nothing within the main city was available nor in our price range. Our plans officially changed. After talking with another young couple, they suggested we stay at Verona, and take a day trip to Venice, only hour away. Today we arrived in Innsbruck at very family run hotel that is in the middle of no where. Way up in the hills, and we are just starting to see the peaks of mountains around us! Tomorrow morning we may do a hike then off to Verona, Italy!!!

  1. We stayed at a very family run hotel there as well way up in the hills. I believe it had a restaurant attached to it and an undercover garage, I wonder if it's the same place?! The drive down the to Italy is crazy...lots of switchbacks...hang on!
