European Wonder: AUSTRIA

---

18th October 2005
Innsbruck, Austria.

Day 7

We travelled through the mountainous terrain of Austria at something of a brisk trot, playing those horrid Sound of Music songs (as the movie was, obviously, placed in Austria) all the way and stopping for barely more than an hour in Innsbruck. There we obediantly took photos of their Olympic Ski Jump and Goldenes Dachl, or Golden Roof, a balcony from which Emperor Maximilian I of the 1500's would watch tournaments and dancing in the city square below.

Afterwards, left with a brief opportunity of time to sightsee, we wandered along the main streets, and then through the tourist shops looking for postcards and souvenirs of a country that we'd not really even seen before trundling back to the bus. A few hours later, we were in Germany.
