Innsbruck, Rain and Sunday

8/31/2014

Rain clouds and tonnes of rain seem to be what Innsbruck has to offer.  We were told that there would be three hours of sunshine today but they weren't telling us the complete truth! We had to look for indoor activities and luckily found the Swarovski Crystal Museum.  It was fascinating and very cool. The photos below show details of the displays. The Crystal Dome was most incredible; it is shown in the header photo. It has 595 mirrors and the acoustics at the centre of it are astounding.  The displays and lighting of the displays were very well done.

Once we were finished at the crystal museum we programmed random Points of Interest into the GPS.  All the sites were listed in German so everything was a surprise.  And we were surprised when we ended up at ruins at someone’s house and then an empty field full of fenced-in muck. From there we looked for more recognizable words and headed to the Olympic Louge then chased clouds on the top of a mountain.  

Everything in Innsbruck is closed on Sunday - EVERYTHING! We found one open caffe in a town called Vols for a coffee. The waitress laughed at us when we asked if anything was open.  
It’s 6:30 PM and still pouring rain. We are heading out for dinner soon, then coming back to the barrel to surf the Internet and make plans for tomorrow as we head to Frankfurt.
