Left the hotel and drove down the mountain to Innsbruck. Started our tour by seeing a presentation on King Maximilian, then the Golden Roof, then a quick visit, not so quick for some, to the Swarovski crystal office. Spectacular workmanship.
Then some personal sight seeing and lunch, then on the road to Switzerland. Had a detour through some very winding country roads but the scenery was fantastic. Had a rest stop for lunch then heading for the tiny principality of Liechtenstein.
Left there and entered Switzerland. More winding roads and scenery.
Ran into a tremendous storm - high winds, heavy rain, temperature drop of 10 degrees C, and even some small hail. Got to the hotel safely, unloaded the bus and got our rooms then dinner. Another evening of being too hungry to stop for pictures; the food was excellent. Mac and cheese with fried onions and applesauce (right, sounds weird but it works), some barley soup with bread, and fresh fruit dessert.
We are ready for a good night in this cool mountain air and more adventures on the morrow...
