A few weeks ago we went to Austria with some friends. The mountains were beautiful. I wasn't sure what to expect of the Alps and if I was going to be impressed.....growing up with mountains all around and Mt. Rainer as a view every day, but I was in awe. It probably helped that we had the best weather.
Innsbruck is a ski town. The funicular (railway on the side of the mountain) to reach the top is just a few mins walk away. We took the funicular and then 2 cable cars to get to the top of the peak. It was so pretty. Halfway up the mountain is a Zoo built in to the side of hill. It was neat place with lots of local animals.
We had some great food and yummy gelato, shaped like flowers. On the way home we stopped at Riedel crystal factory. We took a quick tour watching them make the wine glasses.
Had a great weekend and looking forward to going to Salzburg, Austria before we leave.
View from the front of the hotel and the "famous" golden roof. I didn't get what was so special about it.
