Australians in Austria

Well, I think we're in the Alps? Lots of mountains and it's cool? That'll do!
:)

As we drove to Austria, we passed the area where the 'Otzi the Ice Man' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96tzi) was found. It's amzing to think that this area was populated for so may thousands of years.

Innsbruck was great. A nice wander around and enjoy the sights. The ongoing fun of trying to find a non-undercover parking spot for Springy and local businesses that don't want your business because I don't speak their language were the only mars of the day.

We also found some Mustache wax.....
:)


We found some cheap but awesome apple juice that is thick and tastes amazing. We noticed a bee had come in and was making circles around an empty bottle of one, so I put a dreg of juice in the lid and set it aside for the bee who fell upon it and had his fill. Within half an hour, we had 3 more bees in the camper, so I moved the lid outside.

As we were getting ready to leave Innsbruck, we struck up a conversation with another Aussie who was travelling with his wife. It's amazing how good it feels to listen to a person with the same accent as you.

The mountains are still awesome and gene has secretly fallen in love them.

We made our way to Lichtenstein and stayed in the nation's capital in the parking lot of their soccer stadium. We even had a clear view of the Royal abode.

Today, we drove to Lucern in Switzerland, hoping to see a library of medieval books that we saw in the 1999 trip. Our memory must be failing on us as the library is in St Gallon instead. Bugger. It's still a beautiful town. I took Gene for a walk to find the library that didn't exist and found awesome stuff instead as Dee had an afternoon rest.

We decided to stay the night in Lucern and push on to Geneva tomorrow so we're at CERN bright and early for the Monday morning tour we're on.

I even did some laundry, de-rusted bits of Springy, fixed the exhaust pipe and did the washing up. Quite a balanced day of chores.
