Since I was up much later than I intended I slept in a little this morning.  It a comfortable bed and I was happy to stay in it.  Around the curtains I could see that it was another sunny spring day outside.  I got up and looked out the window.  What a view!  In every direc…

After our castles yesterday it was back to Garmisch-Partenkirchen for another night.  A good nights sleep and we are ready to move on south.  First today we we get to see Innsbruck, Austria.  The drive thru the mountains is beautiful and breathtaking.  There was one hill that we…

Today is my first foray into the mountains.  The weather is good again although the morning sun seems to struggle a little today to burn away a fine but perceptible veil of mist in the valley within which Innsbruck sits, and amidst the mountains all around.  At the time of writing (12.00i…

This is about my time spent in Umeå

We weren't really in Innsbruck, but it was the closest city.  Anyway, we stopped in Austria when I saw a Rodelbahn.  I'd been on a few of these before, so I wanted everyone else to try.  Most of the people in the world can operate these things without any problems.  Apparen…

Austria is the western neigbour of my homeland Slovakia, a small German speaking country with very specific dialects which complains a lot of being confused with Australia. A country that has lots to offer for travellers.

My trip through the Bavarian and Tirol lands :)

I dont remember as much about what we did here. We started out at Swarovski Crystal Worlds (Swarovski Kristallwelten) which was more of a bizzare art museum utilizing crystal than anything terribly educational but it was still very neat. I got a picture of the piece done by Salvador Dalí and we al…
