This is the scary travel day that I have been dreading since I booked this trip, six months ago. It is suppose to be the most scenic train ride in Europe, but if you leave too late, it will be too dark to see anything by the time you get to the scenic part. The scenic part is the train from Graz to Innsbruck. Backing up the time we need to clean up and leave the VRBO by 6:00 to catch the train to Graz, with 10 minutes to transfer to the train to Innsbruck with all our luggage. In the words of Alfred E. Neumann, “What, me worry?” (It actually worked out fine)
It would be hard to know if it was the most scenic train ride, but certainly was incredible, with the Alps rising up all around us. We were in a “panorama” car with huge windows (that were surprisingly clean).
Took a taxi through Innsbruck to the hotel, so we have no idea what it’s really like. We have two days to sush it out! Every ethnicity known to man within walking distance for dinner. We choose pizza. We sit down at 6:00 and the waiter says the table is reserved for 8:00, so no dilly-dally. Is there anyone that makes a pizza last for two hours? We get the house specialty pizza - sausage and potatoes! Now we know we’re in Austria!
Tomorrow we explore Innsbruck.
