We're in Innsbruck

We travelled up from Florence to Innsbruck on Monday. It was three different trains so we did well not to stuff up. The closer we got to Innsbruck the more spectacular things got.  They have had their best snowfalls of the season last weekend.
We wandered around town today - without getting too lost (that was yesterday) and did a hop-on-hop-off bus tour. We are getting good at them!! There's not a lot to see and do but downtown Innsbruck is lovely with lots of cool shops.
We've got our snow gear and are off to the snowfields for the next three days. It should be interesting. John and Amy have been skiing in NZ before but Janelle has never seen snow until yesterday....hope the instructor is patient.
To finish the day we are relaxing in the hotel's bar and watching European handball on TV. John has an Austrian beer and we are eating bread from the local bakery. Much better than working for a living.

 The view from the train on the way up to Innsbruck. It looks like a Christmas card scene.

This is what we see when we look out our window.
