Yesterday we left Innsbruck in the morning and arrived on Venice for lunch.
Innsbruck a picturesque Austrian city surrounded by the alps. There are lovely squares called place's and cobbled pavements. Lots of restaurants and cafes. There is a palace right in the heart and all the little streets and places dot around it . Had a typical Austrian dinner Leah ordered the brartworst sausage and I ordered the wiener schnitzel, then we shared. It was served with a mash potato rosti style plus bread and a delicious fresh salad, yummy.
Left Austria via the alps and the brenner pass. wow an engineering feat it is a highway that goes across and around the mountains using tunnels bridges and massive concrete pylons! Makes our freeway tunnel look like an archway there are heaps of them and they are longer
Arrived in Venice. Very hot about 35 c and humid. I was surprised Nibelung to get there you have to leave s busy ugly port. Venice sits on lots of small islands off the mainland that were re claimed from mudflats many centuries ago .
We entered venice by water taxi and them walked to St marls square. Wow ot eas hot sticky and hugely busy! July perhaps not the best ye to visit. On saying that we definitely experienced the city by taxi gondola and foot
It really is amazing, finished off the visit with a champagne and peach juice called a Bellini . A very long and tiring day but amazing
Our hotel was on mainland and gorgeous
Now off to Roma !
