Innsbruck

Hello again :) So in my last post I was really trying to not saying anything about Innsbruck until my acutal Innsbruck post so here it goes. IT WAS AMAZING! It is totally my favorite city I have been to yet! Everywhere you look there are beautiful snow capped mountains and the view from everywhere is just breath taking! I left early Friday morning with three friends and rode a three hour long train ride there. After we arrived and checked into our hostel we began exploring. We went all through the innercity and up to the olympic park on the mountain. It was incredible. After that we stopped for dinner and at on the river. We then headed back to the hostel to get a good nights rest. Saturday morning we woke up at 6:30 a.m. with the intentions to go to Germany for the day to visit Schloss Neuschwanstein. Needless to say that didnt happen. We spent 3 hours at the train station getting sent all around trying to find the tour bus that went there. We eventually just bought actual train tickets to go to Fussen (the city near the castle) and missed our train. The man at the desk never told us we had to go to the platform that was going towards Munchen... how were we supposed to know? After we got our money refunded we had the idea to rent a car. We called and had one reserved only to find out that our one friend who has a European license left his license in Linz! Terrible luck, I know. We all decided it must be some sort of sign that we shouldnt go. We decided to go back and nap and cool off. We were all irritated. After we felt better we walked around again, took the train up to the top of one of the mountains, had lunch up there, took a horse and carriage around the city and just hung out. Later that night we went out for a few hours and that was it. This morning we walked around again, had lunch and then left. It was really a great trip and just walking around and hiking up the mountains was priceless. Here are tons of pictures because I cant pick only a few. Enjoy :)
