Spectacular Innsbruck

There was a fresh dusting of snow on the mountains this Tuesday morning, we had had quite a few rain showers overnight, they obviously fell as something heavier at higher altitudes.

In the late morning we caught a bus into the centre of Innsbruck from the Kranebitten camping ground. Its a great camping ground with spectacular mountain scenery from all sites, as you can see in the photo of our van at the site. The WIFI internet is included in the camping fee but only if you ask for it!
There is even a view of two railway lines from the front of the van for Gary, just saw a train go past towards Italy as I am writing this post.

Innsbruck is a small but interesting city, well serviced by public transport for a city of 130,000 people.
We enjoyed walking around the old town and lunching in a warm bakery. We also spoke to our house sitting daughter today, which was good for all three of us we think!
She suggested more photos so we have done that. This photo is of part of the old town with the sun glinting off the roof of the Goldenes Dachl, or Golden Roof in English and snow on the mountains behind.The tiles are gilded copper and it was built by Emporor Maximilian I in the 16th centrury as a display of wealth.
Tomorrow we are leaving Austria and moving towards Fussen in Germany.
