Innsbruck, Austria 2006

As part od our 12 day bus trip we stayed overnight at Innsbruck staying at the Hilton Innsbruck.

The Wilton Basilica was an amazing place to visit with the ornate architecture beautifully maintained.  It was cold and raining but managed to get a visit to the monastry which was not far out of the town and we could see the local farms which get split up as the families expand so there are a lot of little parcels and each lot has a wooden hut which houses tools, hay etc.

We had a walk through the city and viewed the crystal factory.  That evening after dinner where we were entertained by the local Austrians performing their traditional dances.

The views of the snow capped mountains were spectacular as well as the farmlands. 

We enjoyed our stopover at Innsbruck.

 before moving on to Salzburg.
