I've become addicted to this fcking blog. The trip is as good as over well at least on hold and here I am typing up an epilogue from my hospital bed. What a sad MFTruth is having been here 3 days where the highlight of activity is the slow 5m journey to the loo I am bored out of my skull and so for something to do I thought I would add an epilogue with dos http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-326850.html Saturday 20th SeptemberMotorcycle boots ski boots and I should imagine women's boots. You take your right boot off with your left hand and left one off with your right hand. So here's a riddle how the fck do you get your left boot off when the ankle is broken and heavily swollen if your right wrist is similarly broken and completely uselessIt would seem that the days that ended best were those http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-326266.html Friday 19th September ldquoYou were lucky with the weather today.rdquo Such an easy sentence to say yet in nigh on 3 weeks seemingly bldy impossible to achieve. But today as the ultra helpful hotel manager what a nice guy uttered this as I walked back in this evening they were spot on. It was suncreamonthesolarpanellikeboncerequiring superb.A day off the bike had me on a hiking tra http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-326259.html Thursday 18th SeptemberI froze my cacks off last night. The last unfortunately prophetic comment I heard late yesterday evening ldquothere will be a frost tonightrdquo uttered with unbearable cheeriness from some geezer in a motorhome smug bstard probably had heating I am the only actual tent here had come to fruition. I pulled the drawstring on the neck of the sleeping bag as tight as http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-325056.html Ive been hiking again. Thats probably not shocking news.On Wednesday I took a bus from Trento up to a small Banff they call Madonna di Campiglio 1500m above sea level in the Italian Dolomites. The towns near the top of a broad pass and mountains rise up on both sides especially the east. Here is the Brenta Group of the Italian Dolomites with massive towers and huge cliff faces that soar http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-317947.html Off to get the yearly fix of snowboarding we journeyed to Innsbruck in Austria. Innsbruck town is nestled inbetween 5 or so different mountains so everywhere we looked there was stunning scenery and we were keen to get out onto the slopes.Our first mission hit us trying to find out how to get to them. The bus system was rather random and many locals couldnt actually tell us where to catch them f http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-315318.html It would probably take most of you a while to find Innsbruck on the map. Hell you lot probably couldn't find Austria I decided insults are a good method to test if any one bothers to read the blog Of course it could back fire on me.We hadn't planned anything past Rome so we looked at the map in the Lonely Planet guide read the reviews and decided on Innsbruck. The capital of Tyrol Innsbruck http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-313858.html From Vienna we travelled to Innsbruck where we planned to spend 6 days sightseeing hiking and generally enjoying the great outdoors Alas it was not to be as apart from a few sunny spells in the first few days we were subjected to almost constant rain. Believe me there are few things worse than camping in the rain. Everything is damp all the time and even though the tent put up a good fight http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-313609.html So daddy woke us up before we told him to again... and then I ate my banana And then I relaxed while daddy and Cindy showered and stuff and then we went to get a little more to eat and then we went to do our laundry. At the laundry place there was this newspaper I was attempting to read and it seems like the Austrians have a problem with people collecting too many mushrooms and they need a lice http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-313040.html So we woke up early this morning around 545... and I actually slept good last night I think I only heard daddy snore once I was amazed lol. So we packed up and went to have some breakfast and then caught the bus to the train station and caught a train to Zurich. So then our train to Innsbruck didn't leave for about a half an hour so me and Cindy went off to get some chocolate and a souveni http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-313039.html Hello again this time from Innsbruck Austria. I am writing while trying to cook some dinner actually Daniel is cooking itrsquos really windy and it keeps blowing our cooker out so we have had to move to a more sheltered spot outdoors as they donrsquot have kitchens in camping grounds in Europe.So today we went and had a look at some more scaffolding with a significant tourist attraction http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-312158.html Raging Bull http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-311677.html So nothing really important o let y'all know of today. I am just sitting in my room actually doing homework bleh. I hate how this school stuff gets in the way off traveling. I just finished some work For Business communication's and am now studying for my midterm. I wish classes didn't exist in Europe. Oh well look at my pictures from Amsterdam they are great. I cant wait until this coming http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-303182.html Did somebody order a crystal doorknob a set of crystal binoculars and a crystal sleigh pulled by crystal reindeer We hereby christen Austria 'Swarovskia'. Every 3rd shop beams the Swarovski signature swan. The stores in between flog giant pretzels bier wench outfits and humourous tshirts reminding clueless tourists there are no kangaroos in Austria.Innsbruck may have been stunning were it n http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-299701.html So today me and Laki got out of classes and decided to just walk around Innsbruck for awhile. We hoped on the bus and decided we actually had no idea all the places it stopped so we rode it around for awhile. After about twenty minutes we arrived at the Hofgarten where we were the other night and decided that a walk around in the daylight might do us good so we did. IT was so beautiful. I http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-298112.html So it was really fun day yesterday. IT was not that eventful but what Laki and I did do was a lot of. It all started with a normal day of two classes and then we decided to go back to the room and do our homework. After we did our homework Laki went to take a nap. I decided that I wanted to get downtown and not sit in my room all day so I just went and got on the bus and went to the Klini http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-297951.html OK so sorry for the delay I had a little trouble with the internet. The Austrian whether though is something else that has been giving me a little trouble over the past few days. IT is apparently exactly like the weather in Maine during the summer according the Christine. The problem is though that it is cold in the morning hot in the afternoon and cold at night with rain thrown in at rand http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-297459.html So Yesterday was a blast and an adventure in more ways than one. Once I got up and decided to get out of bed I realized that it was about 630 in the morning jet lag sucks. I went outside saw the beautiful mountains again and decided to go for a walk. An hour later and a few more mountain surveyed I got back to the Panorama and tried to find some people to eat breakfast with. I found Aar http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-296505.html Dagen i dag er 6.Juli og vi har nettop ankommet Innsbruck steriket... i dag tidlig dro Marius med fly fra Munich hjem fra sin uke p loffen med oss og vi satte kursen mot Italia... Vi har reist en god del og sett litt av vrt men har ikke skrevet noe og har heller ikke tenkt til det... gidder ikke... blir alt for lat av vre p bil ferie... hehe... men men.. vi har tatt noen bilder og video http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-296089.html Cheri and I have employed an advanced form of mathematics to calculate the best possible usage of our holiday time. We both get 20 days from our jobs and an extra 8 on top of that for public holidays. Combined with judicious usage of long weekends and you can turn 1 day of holiday from work into 10 actual elapsed days. Some creative accounting goes into it.For Easter Cheri and I decided to s http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-296018.html So Irsquom in Europe now. It still hasnrsquot sunk in to me though it is really a crazy thought to think that I am halfway around the world from where I was a day ago. So letrsquos recap. The excursion here was really not bad at all. On the first leg of the trip there was a slight amount of turbulence that caused my friend Racheal to keep grabbing onto my arm. I though that it was http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-295871.html So sorrz for the long delay... before I start with this I want to preface it with an explanation Im in Austria and the kezboard is screwed up most notablz that the y and z kezs are in opposite places so instead of bothering to fix it Im just going to tzpe the waz i know and figure it out. Internet is costing me out the butt right now so Ill trz to give a quick rundown of the last 10 dazs or http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-284148.html Finally The day Irsquove been waiting for white water rafting We got up and left at 745. Surprisingly I didnrsquot have a hangover Most people made it on time but there were a few stragglers today.We drove a while then made a service stop in Lichtenstein. It was a very artsy place. There was art everywhere you looked. Beautiful pictures on the sidewalk sculptures on every cor http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-283921.html Morning http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-280141.html Morning http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-280136.html Hello one and all moved over to Innsbruck on Tuesday. Great train ride very comfortable Today is Thursday 22 May just using a little spare time I have before I catch a bus to another attraction Arrived at my hotel and I told Amy that I am competing with her tiny room at the backpackers in Hamilton she uses when on her Vet Nursing block courses The tiny room happened to be at the front http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-278920.html Morning http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Austria/Tyrol/Innsbruck/blog-277040.html Staying in a youth hostel is sometimes the most wonderful way of travelling mostly because of the people you meet. Schwedenhaus The Swedish House in Innsbruck is of the nicer kind. Right on the river Inn at the foot of the mountains. Wonderful. I'm stuffed in to a room with one Italian guy and one German dude.The Italian speaks very little English.
