Innsbruck- Comfort camping
Today we had a late start as we had to catch up with the blog and some laundry. Nevertheless it was a beautiful morning and we lapped it up like puppies.
After chatting to Nick's Mom on skype she told us that they had friends in Innsbruck and she sent us their number. Unfortunately we could not get hold of them but we still hung around in Innsbruck for most of the day. We wondered the streets of this really beautiful town having far more fun than the evening before mainly because of all the people were out and about. The main attractions would be the Swarovsky Museum and shop, Golden Roof ( copper roof tiles) and the general old town. Managed to buy some really strong Schnapps along with a small traditional hat instead of our usual fridge magnet that we are getting bored of.
Schnapps Tasting
From their we decided to take a beautiful scenic drive through the Fernpass. It is a pass that leads thought the Alps towards Germany so we could go and view Neuschwanstein Castle. This being the most illusive visit of our trip as each time we are on our way there we get sidetracked.
Around about 19h00 in the evening (by which time there was more rain than you could imagine) we eventually found the Garden of Eden, or at least our oasis in the chaos of rain. The site was called Comfort Camping in Gran. The name gives it away completely. It is obviously set up as a winter camping spot with ski store and a wonderful heated pool and sauna. We however simply had a shower and a nice meal and went to bed.
