Day 37 – Innsbruck

Not a lot to say today really as it rained all day somewhat limiting our options! It wasn’t a bad day though and it was nice to take it easy for a change. We had a lie in and then went to get breakfast from the supermarket. Next we spent an hour on the internet checking e-mails and updating the blog.

As something to do in the rain we visited the Swarovski shop which is the biggest in the world and has a few exhibitions too. I’m glad it was free beacuse I wouldn’t have paid to see it! We spent the rest of the afternoon bimbling around the town trying to avoid all the tourists who had the same idea.

For dinner we went for a curry – just to see what it was like. Actually it was very nice and probably much more authentic than a British restaurant. It was cheap too.

I think on the whole I prefer Interlaken to Innsbruck. There is more variety in Interlaken with the lakes, waterfalls and rivers as well as the trees and mountains. Also the villages are more picturesque. I don’t have a bad word to say about the Austrian’s though. They are very friendly and always helpful.
