Genious

Innsbruck austria has got things figured out. Heres the deal, if you stay in the city (in a hotel or hostel) then you get a free Innsbruck card. This card entitles you to free guided hikes as long as you stay. So this morning, i arrived at a meeting point, got in a van with with driver, guide and 3 other tourists and spent the entire day hiking in the austria alps...free, paid for by the city! They also have a badging system...the more hikes you do, you get cool pins. Other than beautiful views, i also saw the worlds 2nd most poisonous mushroom and a rare alpine flower called the EdelweiƟ. Tomorrow morning, i get up for a sunrise hike that begins at 5am.


Look at me!


Great when fried with onions

Brad mate - do you have a hostel there? If I dont find a room here this week its back on the road for me and a few days in the Alps sounds like a good start!
