travel/Innsbruck

After far too many hours on the most roundabout path to Austria possible, we've arrived in Innsbruck. It's beautiful and snowy and cold and you can see the mountains. Plane food was great (with Coke!) and I love Austrian airlines. (Mum and Dad - kindly never put me on Air Canada again. Our flights all had little screens so you could pick your own movies, play games etc.) Changing over in Japan was interesting - even the woman at the English information desk didn't understand a word of Aussie. Saw the most beautiful sunrise over Siberia on the flight to Vienna. We caught a cute little propeller plane from Vienna to here. I have officially declared Austrian customs/security as the laxest in the world - we didn't get passported/questioned/stamped at all when we arrived in the country. Bit of a pleasant change from the US. Were both successfully out of bed at 6am today! Everyone speaking German is cool (and a little scary) and even Tom doesn't get it all - bloody Austrians. Had lunch meats and cheese for brekky - they were yummy but was a bit weird to have as breakfast.

We've taken some photos but I can't upload them from this Internet place, will do so when I can.

Lots of love from Austria!

Starting off the new year in a new country! Sounds so exciting. I just got back to Montreal from Ontario and was overwhelmed by the snow... but you've been stuck in Australia so it must be even more surprising!
