Merano in Italy. We've been eating pizza and done some shopping. A beautiful place full with tourists. We came there 2500 m above sea level by the Timmelsjoch pass which was amazingly beautiful and now we are on our way back through the Brenner pass.
Yesterday afternoon we went to the Alpenzoo. We took a train up there. Oh, and I forgot to say that we were in a sauna place, Alpenbad, on Saturday afternoon. There they had lots of different saunas, I tried the infrared, the steam sauna and something called Kelo sauna (can anyone explain what that is?). I also took some baths in the cold pool. The Alpenbad was really nice and relaxing.
We walked around Innsbruck for a while this picture is from Marienstraße. We had dinner at Mc Donalds. Me and the husband bought one bottle of Marillenlikör and one with Marillensnaps in a store where they filled the bottles with what you ordered.
Saturday night we went to a bar here in Haiming, it is called Oilers and is totally inspired of America. There are old american cars outside and on the inside they have an old car engine, V8, from 1963 which they start once every Saturday evening. They have special glass walls that they open up then. At Sunday we went to Längenfeld were we saw a yearly parade. The youngest of the Strobls played the saxophone in the parade and the Strobl father was the conductor of one of the orchestras which also started the consert that was held in a big tent. After we listened and had a little to eat we went to Ötzi dorf, were they showed how the life could be in the Stoneage. Ötzi was not there, he is placed in Südtirol. Yesterday we went to Innsbruck and started by going up in the Bergisel, It made me very convinced I will never be a ski jumper!
Wednesday to Saturday we were up in the mountains in the Strobls cottage. It's a wonderful place at 1084 m above the sea. One of the days we went higher up to Magdeburger hütte. There they had different animals and we went for a walk. Then we took a drink at the hütte. When we arrived at the Strobls cottage on the Wednesday it was 29 degrees and sunny but when we left on Saturday it was 9 degrees and raining. Me, the husband, the son and the youngest Strobl walked down. It took us about 45 minutes.
Yesterday we had 32 degrees, and today it will be the same if you believe the forecast. The landscape is absolutely magnificent, I think I could live here. Then I would have to practice my German though ;). Later this afternoon we're going to Seefeld to visit Herta.
Today we have been swimming in a lake called Blindsee. The water was about 19 degrees Celcius, and the air was warm and bright. We have been swimming, paddling, sleeping, eating... Just having a great time here with our friends, the Strobls.
