Simon (and TomTom) did a marvellous job of driving us to beautiful Tirol. We arrived at our very quaint farm in the late afternoon, and went for a walk around the fields and down to the lake. Since our German consists of the words for 'thank you', 'exit', 'one-way street', 'station' and 'schnitzel', we had a little trouble communicating with our landlady, but sign-language and lots of nodding and smiling got us through in the end!
We drove down to the village for dinner, along a country lane which seemed to be even narrower than our very narrow European car, and found a great pub where we both had venison stew and lots of vegies - the best meal we've had so far.
Saturday we went for a long walk around the lake near our farmhouse, and then drove to the Swarovski Crystal Works, which was quite interesting. Next time you see Karina wearing a very very sparkly bracelet, you'll know that it's not diamonds!! In the afternoon we drove into Innsbruck, and came upon an Easter Market right in the centre of the Old Town, which is as cute as the Old Town in Salzburg.Sunday morning, we say goodbye to Austria, and head for the mountains of Slovenia.

Servus! (as the Austrian's would say)
Sounds like you guys are having an awesome time. Your Austrian entries brought back some good memories (so jealous). Look forward to reading more soon.

What happened to your knee Karina? I'm glad a physio wasn't needed.... it's great to read where you're at, I was getting worried when I couldn't read your other posts! I am very jealous of all your travels, and look forward to the next few weeks and seeing more photos - what a photogenic pair you are!!
