From Lindau we took a train 🚞 to Innsbruck and rented a car for a few days. Innsbruck was a stop on the way to Italy, and it was a lovely one. We walked around the downtown, looking at the historic buildings, the most unique being the palace with the golden roof where queen and king looked over their square. The city was bustling with tourists and we met the first of many Swifties in the area for Taylor’s Munich shows. With beer and wine cheaper than water around here, it was tempting to start a drinking game… take a drink when you see someone with an Eras T-shirt or a sequined outfit. My liver couldn’t.😝
Austria hosted the Olympics three times, and it was fun to check out their ski jump in Innsbruck. I was pretty good at the Wii ski jump myself, if I do say. To our delight we learned that jumpers can practice all year. We bought tickets up to the look off tower and before we got into the funicular, we saw a fella getting into position, then he flew by! 🚀
We went into the massive tower and took in the views of the mountains, forest, and storybook villages. We had cake and coffee in the restaurant and planned the rest of our day: swimming at the Völser Badl, another outdoor swimming complex with — you guessed it — stainless steel pools, my new obsession. Four pools, a long twisting slide, clean facilities for changing and storage lockers, a licensed canteen, beautiful surroundings — what a place to relax. The landscaping was impeccable with rolling terraces, tall trees and topiaries. It was a great deal too.
