From our Germanic mountain home we decided to hop on another train to an unknown and unplanned destination. Where did we end up you may ask. Austria. WHAT?? From the train station in Bolzano we boarded the first train to Innsbruck Austria, a place neither of us knew anything about or how to speak the language. Once again, the train ride was well worth the trip. Once we arrived we knew we had made the right decision. The information office (our new best friends) booked us a room in a near by town called Igls that was about 25 mins outside the city. Once again our Information Office people pulled through in finding us an amazing room complete with down blankets and a view of the mountains. As we walked around the city we found streets lined with white building, wood shutters, and window sills overflowing with colorful flowers. It was a short trip to Austria but a beautiful and well worthwhile deviation from our plans. We couldn't help but look at each other and laugh - to think we were in Austria!
