Praha, ra-ha-ha

The title of the blog is in reference to Prague, aka Praha, and the ra-ha-ha is a shout out to Alec, since he loves Lady Gags (and we didn't want him to feel left out). Prague is our favorite city in Europe thus far. We were instantly happy with it as soon as we stepped off the train. Liz, Tom-Tom, Travis and I caught a train out of Innsbruck around 12 on Thursday and pulled into Prague around 9 at night. Our first mission was to find the hotel because Thomas's sister, Katie, was meeting him there. We refer to Katie as little/better Lane, but she's really fun and cool and reminds us a lot of Thomas (since they are siblings and all). We stayed at Residence Bologna, which was in the center of all the action. It was a block down from the 5 story club (a fejj favorite), right by the bridge you cross to get to the castle, and only a few streets down from the main square. It even had air conditioning. Although if I'm being honest, I'll admit it hardly worked. BUT the beds were super comfortable and it was the first real hotel we stayed in since being in Europe (other than the Karwendel, our home base). Prague is the cheapest city on earth, so that is why we chose to go with a hotel instead of a hostel-you pretty much pay the same for both. It was also nice being in a cheap city after Italy and Switzerland were so expensive. Because we all spend so much time together and get bored, we like to play this game where if one person sees something they like (say in the window of the store), the other person has to say "Yes, I like that, BUT I like this better...and points out something else," unless they really do like it, then they can just say so. We also like to name what foods we are going to get before we eat. Liz and I also just like to talk about food in general. Anyways, when we all had to name our cities in the order we liked them most, everyone picked Prague. So now you know it is not just my biased opinion. Prague is the Vegas of Europe.

Our first night, we grabbed dinner this little restaurant called Pizza Colosseum. Don't let the name fool you though, it was very good. Everything was closed by the time we were trying to sit down for dinner, so it was quick. We then went back to the hotel and went to sleep because everyone was tired from the train rides. Side Note: we were on train miserable again, but it wasn't as bad because we had our own cars we could lay down in. The next morning we went to check out the astronomical clock that is on the side of the old city town hall. It's huge and always surrounded by tons of tourists. While we were there, we had this random girl come up to us and say, "Wow you girls are hard to catch up with!" We thought we were about to be robbed, but she just wanted to invite us to a bar crawl, which if you read on, we did go on. This girl had come to Prague to teach English, met a guy, and stayed to open a bar with him. Crazy. Another favorite saying of the trip is that when this all blows over, we are going to get an apartment with our Texas friends that is half way between Texas and NC, haha. Anyways, after this, we just walked around the square and some shops. Liz wanted to buy something furry (she loves fur), but I vetoed that. But don't worry, she snuck back in to Zara later and came out with some good picks. We then went back to the hotel to take showers and nap. Tom-Tom had bought some Absinthe, so he wanted to try that out. I think the most we discovered about it is that it tastes gross and no, it does not make you hallucinate. That store clerk worked him. We met up with three more of Thomas's friends for dinner and then we went on the bar crawl. It met at the Drunken Monkey and progressed from there. However, I can't really tell you where because 1. all of Europe is hard to navigate and 2. it was raining SO hard. But we did have a lot of fun when we weren't complaining about being so wet. A lot of people from our program were on the same bar crawl, so it was fun to hang out with them all. In the morning, Liz and I went to eat at Bohemian Bagels-something Frommers, Liz's European bible, told her to do and it was so good. I had chicken salad, which is rare in Europe. Liz and I decided that she could write the day/touristy part of Europe and I would write the nightlife part of it AND we would both write the food section, since that part is always in accord. We then went to the Castle, which was really cool. We wanted to walk inside, but there was a special visitor, so we couldn't. We took pics with the guard though and of the outside. We found Tom-Tom, Katie, and their friends there, so then we went to get cappuccinos/beers and go home for naps again. On our way back across the bridge, we went to the John Lennon peace wall. I got a small print of the wall to frame when I get home. That night, Liz and I decided to do our own roommate-dinner at the hotel and surprisingly, it was one of the best meals we've had in Europe. We had caprese (we pronounce it Ka-pre-see for fun) to start, Liz had beef in a mushroom sauce, I had chicken and asparagus in a wince sauce, and tiramisu for desert. All for like 30 bucks. It was a great meal. Then we went to the five story dance club. We had many recommendations for this place, but also had heard it was for pre-teens, so we weren't sure. Well even though there were SOME pre-teens, we had a great time. I mean, it is Bieber Fever all over the world. The first level was a radio-hits floor, the second was like techno/dance, the third was called "black music" (yea...), and the fourth level was a chill level. I'm missing a floor, but you can google it if you want to see pictures. There were go-go dancers, games in between the floors, crazy lit up dance floors, multiple dj's, etc. We did a lot of dancing, all the way till about 4 am, then we caught two hours of sleep before we took a cab to the train station to hop on the 7 am train. We had a few friends that "played through," but they didn't make their trains! Today wasn't bad, we were all pretty tired and glad to see the Karwendel...as we are every weekend when we return. Another week of classes, I'll be updating later on the efficiency of the European E.R.'s.

Train Miz., Venice, Florence

On Thursday, Liz, Aaron, Thomas and I took the night train to Venice aka Train Miserable. We thought it wouldn't be too bad. Although all the sleepers were taken, we thought we would get one of the nice trains that have seats in a set of four and then we could stretch out. So, we had a few drinks on the roof of the Karvendal and then went into town for dinner. That is the exact opposite of what happened. We had this old train that had little compartments of six seats and it was PACKED. There were people standing in the between cars, sleeping in the halls, and you basically couldn't move. In our little compartment, we had this euro-trash guy with one earring and a sequin shirt (which Liz spied in his bag). He blew up his little neck pillow, stretched out, and wouldn't let us put the window down because "it hurt his shoulder." It was stifling hot in this little car. It finally got to the point that when we he went to put the window up again I told him that it was really hot, there were 5 other people in the car, and that was going to be it because it wasn't going back up. At this point, I was ready for a showdown. He told me we could trade seats, which was definitely o.k. with me (he'd already made me move out of his seat once anyways). This guy put his feet on Liz's seat and when Thomas woke up, he had his head basically in his lap...ridic. I will NEVER take a night train again if I don't have a sleeper car. When we got to Venice, I'd had a total of an hour of sleep all night and was feeling really sick. My motion sickness patch doesn't kick in with 400 people on a small train I've decided. So I really can't tell you much about Venice. I slept at the train station and in a park with the group when they were done looking through a museum. You guys will have to ask Liz what she thinks about it..but my guess is, it's dirty. I did eat a peach by the water, so I know what that looks like.

On to Florence. We stayed in Venice only till 2:30. We were originally staying only till 1:30, but Logan (another guy in our program) was supposed to meet us there and he didn't wake up for his train, so he was willy-nilly traveling around Europe. That would have stressed us out because it is hard to meet up with people who don't have phones. The train to Florence was a couple of hours and we were kicked off once. We didn't realize you had to reserve seats (because a lot of trains you don't) and we were one stop away when the guy kicked us off in Bologna, which we hate. They decided it was the Detroit of Europe. We did, however, meet a cool family on the train from Canada who told us to eat at Quattro Leoni, which was amazing! The mom was really pretty and Thomas asked her where they were from. When she said "Vancouver Island," with a totally straight face, Thomas asked, "Oh, Cougar Island, where is that?" ...Freudian slip? We all thought it was hilarious and couldn't help laughing. When we arrived in Florence we checked into our hostel, Archi Rossi. We really liked the hostel. Liz, Thomas and I had a triple that didn't have air (like the other boys) but it was nice not to stay in a room with randoms. The hostel itself was artsy and had writing all over the walls. We were playing on signing it "family band-sweet little lies," but forgot. Liz, Thomas, Dex and I have been singing all over Europe (usually Little Lies by Fleetwood Mac), so we've decided to be a traveling family band. We're open to new suggestions for songs. We are usually shh'd on buses, in lines, etc. While I'm on that subject, we've also decided that Americans are just SO much louder than Europeans. Like the first night in Florence, we were so tired that we just went out to dinner and then came back to go to bed so we could tour around the city the next day. There were a group of Europeans on the rooftop terrace playing the guitar and singing songs. Liz and I could have been louder than them just by ourselves and with an ipod speaker. They sang quietly and if anyone was too loud, they would quiet each other. We've never tried that at a party. Also, our next night, we went out to dinner with Dex, Brandon, Aaron, Logan (who finally made it!), and Thomas and we were the loudest people in the restaurant. We had a few liters of wine and it became hard to hear when one person started talking over another person. We were given the MEANEST looks. Europeans talk one at a time and when one person is talking, they all listen to that one person. So then we tried to all be quiet for 10 minutes to see what the real noise level of the restaurant was, but it only lasted for like 10 seconds before Liz started to feel awkward and talk again. Anyways, back tracking, we checked out the Uffizi and the Duomo (but didn't make it inside because the line was too long). Liz got up at 6 am to get in line for tickets at the Uffizi...such a great tourister. We also walked through the street vendors and the boys bought leather gifts for themselves, girlfriends, moms, etc. That night is when we went to Quattro Leoni for dinner. I had the best pasta dish; it was in a white sauce and had something sweet in the middle. We also had an appetizer of little chicken and onion fried things. The food was great in Italy. We all really loved the gelato. After dinner, we went to two Irish pubs and then to a club called Twice. We saw a band playing outside so we danced to it a little and then tried to all fit into a photo machine, but that obviously didn't work. It was our second time going to clubs in Europe and it was about the same-hot, sweaty, tons of people in a small space. We stayed there till like 2 am and then headed back to the hostel. When we got back, the door was locked and we had to bang on it to get in. When we checked in, we made sure there wasn't a curfew (because some do have curfews) and he assured us there wasn't, but had the guy not been cleaning the downstairs, I think we may have had to sleep on the streets. We've had a constant debate going on whether there was a bidet in the bathroom or whether it was a urinal. We finally decided it was not a bidet. However, it is a great feet washing tool because the streets of Italy are SO dirty. Don't worry, it was clean when we used it to wash our feet.

Today, we got up at 7 am to make the train at 9 am. It was relatively uneventful, except that you are supposed to write in the day that you are traveling and then they will stamp it. The ticket checker was a jerk and because we didn't write in the day, he took our passes until we payed him 50 euros (but originally he wanted 50 each!) It is in writing that you have to put down the day, but we decided as Americans, it is only necessary that you first try to scam the system to see if you can get away with it as punishment for not having a more official system. I mean really, having us pencil in the date!? There should be a stamper for that or something. We made it back around 4 and took naps. We then got up to go have dinner in the bottom of our hotel. We saw all of the boys that had stayed in town for the weekend. We thought Ryan was going to give us a hug, but nope...he iced us coming in the door, so in the name of the game, we drank them. But don't worry, Wilson got him back when he creeped through the window with an ice. We are planning big things for Ryan this week. More on the lantern hike later & more pictures when I'm not so exhausted.

Lazying around Innsbruck

We've realized that some of our best times are just hanging out around the Karwendel (hotel) and in Innsbruck. This week we've just gone to classes and hung out. We had a speaker yesterday on hate speech and how it's dealt with on an international level. He's a judge in Austria; but I had a pretty hard time understanding his accent most of the time. Without air conditioning, it's like 1000 degrees in the classrooms. Liz and I decided we are going to have to get Europe to want more for themselves, like ice! You can't even buy it at the grocery store.

Last night, about ten of us went to the Hofgarten. I told you we really liked it. We also had ribs again. They have a Tuesday special 6 of any type of drink for 10 Euros, so I think it will probably be a regular thing for the group. Thomas taught us our new favorite game. Basically, one person thinks of a word and gives you the first letter. Everyone else playing gets to ask a question, like if it starts with C, "Is it something you can drink?" Then the person whose word it is has to say.."No, its not a coke." If they can't think of what it is, the people in the group that know it have to say it at the same time. Then the person whose word it is has to give you another letter. It sounds silly, but it really is fun. The Hofgarten turns into a club at night, so we danced and people iced other people and it was pretty much like every other night. Then we went to Safari again and the boys played pool. Liz and I decided to go home because we always like to get in bed and chat late night.

Tonight, we are going on a lantern hike. Not quite sure what that entails, but I've been told it involves walking up a mountain at night and at the top is food, drink, and music. We're also going to reserve our sleeper cars for our trip to Italy this weekend. All of the guys are coming!

Out of Interlaken, into Zurich, and back to Innsbruck

Lake Lan in Innsbruck

When we almost missed getting back on the trolley because we were looking for icecream!

Lake Zurich

Trolley around Zurich


After rafting, we were pretty tired. When we finished, the guides had cheese, bread, and beer waiting for us, so we hung out with them for awhile. Then we showered and went into town and ate a place called Cafe de Paris. It was excellent. We aren't sure if what we had was a typical Swiss dinner, but it was roast beef, tartar sauce, and the salad that seems to come with every meal there; it was also excellent. For desert, we had this thing called berry waffl'n (we're on deserts hard right now, but are about to quit because we don't want to come back from Europe beastly). After dinner, we stopped by the bonfire and the Guinness tent, but we were so exhausted we just went to bed. We had met like 10 guys earlier that went to law school in the US that said to try the club across the street, but it just wasn't in us. We got back to the room and there is this backpacker who smelled worse than any human being ever. He wanted to chat for hours (we think because he was backpacking alone and lonely), but we also didn't feel like doing that, so we just tried to pretend we were asleep. By this point, we had decided it was time to get away from our grotsky roommates and go to Zurich the next morning.

The next morning we grabbed pastries for breakfast from our favorite little spot down the street and took the bus to this hostel out in the middle of no where to sea kayak. They only had one though, so then we took another bus to the center of town where I thought the lake was (but wasn't), so at this point we just decided to get on the train. We took about a 5 hour train ride to Zurich and then hopped on the trolley that took us on a guided tour around the city. We figured this was our best bet since we didn't have a ton of time to spend there. We learned a few interesting facts on the tour; like, Zurich is where FIFA is headquartered, only 6% of people actually own homes in Zurich (the rest rent), it generates a fifth of all of Switzerland's money, and the stock exchange is world famous there. One of the guys we met on the trolly was in Switzerland for business and had graduated from UVA. He looked to be about our age and we were semi-jealous of his sweet job. They invited us to join them on the boat tour, but we were afraid of missing the 8:40 back to Innsbruck, so we just headed back to the station. We ate dinner at another little pizzeria. We really could write a book on all of the pizza we have eaten in Europe. Then we took the 5 hour train ride back to Innsbruck. We got in at 2 am, took a taxi back to our place, and slept. It was SO nice to finally be in our own room again. Innsbruck is starting to feel like home.

Today, we woke up at like 10 am. That was also nice since we have been trying to get up at 8 am to see stuff everyday or make it to class. We then traversed the city and tried to figure out the bus system to make it to Lake Lan. It's pretty confusing when you don't normally take buses on a day to day basis. When we finally made it to the lake, we were so happy we went. There were tons of people out there and we layed out on the dock. We also ate popsicles and went swimming. We've decide we will take all our new friends back there when they return from their weekend vacations.

As one of the people we've met along the way said, "You're on holiday, you can do whatever you want" and that is exactly how we feel.

Everyone dip your head!

Rafting was quite the experience. When we showed up for our trip at 4 PM we were expecting an American type deal where everyone is lined up, explained the rules, then we get on the bus. Well, we waited around for about 30 minutes after we were supposed to start and all the guides looked as if they were still at some party that never stopped. We got a little worried when they were all snuffing something up their noses, especially some guy who looked like he needed a 3 day nap. But they promised it was just tobacco and totally safe (told you Europe knew nothing about cancer). They even offered us some, but we respectfully declined. We had to wear wet suits, wet shoes, wet jackets, and life jackets to go on this river. You may have assumed that by now we knew what we were getting into, but nope... So we get on a bus and take a 20 minute train ride to the top of one of the mountains. We get out, make sure all of our gear is on, and then we have to run practice drills in the boat. There were a few Vandersloot guides, but our guide was great. Most of them were from New Zealand; typical, those guys are so outdoorsy. We got onto the river and the first place we put the boat in, (by the way, WE had to put the boat in down this rocky cliff) we hit a huge rapid. Liz and I somehow ended up in the front of the boat. This is where all the major paddling is done and we weren't sure we could handle it. About this time Liz was looking scared, but don't worry I assured her I was an excellent rafter. The Switzerland level 3 rapid is about a level 5 in the US. I have blisters on my hand and we were both exhausted to get down the river. We ended up being glad we were in the front because the rest of our boat was from India, did not speak one word of English, and couldn't understood the guide's orders. At one point, we looked back when he yelled row forward and most of our boat was sitting down in the boat not doing anything at all. We are lucky we made it out alive. The guide told us that we could jump out to float if we thought we were competent swimmers. So of course, I did. Maybe I'm not as talented as I thought because as soon as those 6 degree waves started to hit me in the face, I felt like I couldn't breathe. But I made it through and Liz jumped out too. We then floated into the lake and took the bus back to the Funny Farm. Now we are going to shower and hit up the hot spots!

Hofgarten! and more

Ryan's failed attempt at Icing

Manny's Grilled Cheese!

Haha Liz's sweet new do

Thomas!

Hofgarten view



The Hofgarten is one of our favorite new spots in Innsbruck. It reminds us of a bigger and better Selwyn Pub in Charlotte. Thomas, a guy in our program, invited us one night (guy with beard above) and we already plan on returning on Tuesday. They had screens set up for the Germany/Spain game and it was slam packed. They have these huge electric umbrellas that go up and cover the entire outside area. The food there was tasty. Liz and I shared ribs (which by the way is the best meal we've had on this trip and it was so cheap, like 9 euro). The boys were all decked out in their jerseys and smoking cigars (because we've decided a few of them have European complexes and now think they are Euro). The girls just wore the colors of their favorite team and since Liz and I are bandwagon fans, we pulled for Germany. We picked Germany because we like to scream "Deutscheland". But now Liz is saying Switzerland is her favorite spot, so she's a traitor. Most Austrians don't like Germany we've heard because Germany treats them like we treat Canada. I don't care though, those Germans are the happiest people I've ever met. After the game was over and everyone got over the fact that they were going to have to travel so far to Spain to be in a country where a team was playing, we went inside the Hofgarten to dance. They had a DJ playing American music and they played all of our requests. There were about 15 of us there from our program. It turns out that "icing" your friends is just as cool in Europe and everyone plays with this Euro version of Smirnoff Ice (see Ryan trying to Ice me above, but me blocking him!) Liz got iced by this guy we like to call "giant" because he is so tall. After that, we all went to Bar 7 in taxi cabs, but the cabs were all black meredes benz's, so we felt semi-important. Bar 7 is what Kyle, who went to this program last year, reccomended and everyone loves it. Manny, the owner, plays American music and serves the best grilled cheeses all night long. It's also where the undergrads like to hang out, so we can pretend we are still in college. From there, we went home, but it takes at least an hour to get everyone to settle down and not running and talking in the halls, so that is why Switzerland is a resort! People love to crawl out of their windows since all the windows are wide open because there is no air conditioning. Our friend Ryan walked across the roof to invite us to dinner, but we were sleeping and he said we were lucky we were "vanderslooted" with our windows wide open, haha. "Vandersloot" is now a common word around here.

Interlaken, Switzerland

Liz and I took the train from Innsbruck to Zurich to Interlaken yesterday. It was about six and a half hours, but well worth it. We love eating at the train stations and every one we've been to thus far has good food. I had some sort of crazy meat and cheese sandwich with olives and Liz had an assortment of cheese, olives, and meats on a stick. We also ate a pastry with a cream filling. From the station, we walked to the hostel (about 15 minutes) and got to see most of Interlaken Ost. It's a sleepy little town. Compared to Munich, it is a REALLY sleepy town. It's almost like coming to a resort after how crazy everyone is during the week, so we're really enjoying being here.

The Funnny Farm is a hippie retreat. You can find families here with small children and the children are naked and the parents wear hippie loose clothes. They don't seem like they shower much, but we're ok with that. We are staying a room with 8 beds and four of them are occupied by guys, which we've also decided we won't do again. Three of them are Asian tourists who take way too long in the bathroom and lotion up for extended periods of time. We really want our own room, but are doing our best to conserve money. However, the hotel itself is really cool. It has a nice lounge area, a great outdoor bar/restaurant, a nightclub and a pool (which is rare in Europe). There is the biggest dog we've ever seen walking around the hotel named Spietz and we love her.

Today, we walked to Interlaken West. This is the first real day we've been up at 8 AM hitting the pavement, so we feel pretty good about ourselves. There are little shops and places to eat, but everything here is ridiculously expensive. If you want any dish that has meat in it, it'll probably be about 40 dollars. We hear all of Switzerland is like that though. Now the US dollar is the same as the dollar here, so we can at least figure out how much we are actually spending. Liz bought Euro tennis shoes (since I told her to pack some and she refused, but now we figured out we will need them for the Lantern Hike on Tuesday). They are white and gold, so she'll be so stylish for our hike. Sorry everyone, ya'll won't be getting trinkets from Switz.

We are going rafting in a little while and I'm pretty sure we have to wear wet suits, so we'll be getting some interesting photos from this trip. Tomorrow is sea kayaking and from there we are considering going back to Zurich for a night or even just for lunch on our wait out Sunday. Most of our friends wont be coming back till Monday since they took trips to Spain and Germany for the World Cup. They were planning on running with the bulls and sleeping on park benches, so we vetoed that. But we are hoping to take our trip to Italy or Prague with them. Tuesday we are all re-uniting at the Hofgarten for live music.

Pictures to follow when we return to Innsbruck! And if my spelling is really bad, blame these crazy Euro keyboards.

Funny Farm

The rest of the week will be pretty low key until we leave for the funny farm Thursday! Yes, an actual funny farm located in Interlaken, Switzerland (not that Liz and I aren't a regular funny farm). Planning on rafting & bonfires. Check it out...

http://www.funny-farm.ch/

Off to watch the soccer games tonight. These German/Austrians love their soccer. I'm definitely buying a jersey that says "Deutscheland," since it is one of our favorite words. haha. Also, in dedication to my gran-gran, Liz and I call any creeps we meet "Vandersloot," since she was key on us not meeting any strange guys...we say it every 10 minutes.

Innsbruck!

Liz and I took the Eurail from Munich to Innsbruck with only a few minor melt downs. I basically knew nothing about the Eurail because I kept telling Liz it was only a train for Americans (like they love us enough to actually give us our own train) and I thought you couldn't buy the passes in Europe, which you can. So once we figured out we had to get them stamped, I went first so Liz could stay with the luggage. I literally got it stamped in two seconds. When she went back to stamp hers this lady kept telling her to switch lines, putting her in the wrong place, etc. and we were almost late for our train. The Eurail isn't bad itself though. We were in a tiny compartment with five other people, all speaking German. I just tried to sleep most of the way, but if my stepmom had not given me motion sickness patches, I made not have made it traveling. There is one girl in our program who was sick the whole way to Austria and finally decided she couldn't take it and is flying home tom. Eek. We also have some friends that are taking a 20 hour trip this weekend to run with the bulls, but that is WAY too far for us on that tiny train compartment.

When we arrived in Innsbruck, Dexter and Brandon, two guys in our program, must have heard us speaking English and asked us if we were in the Innsbruck program. So relieved to have met them because they led the way, arranged cabs, and got us to the hotel in timely fashion. We could have done it on our own, but it was nice not having to at that point. Our room is pretty sweet. It's bigger than we thought. We have all the necessities and the shower actually stays on without having to push a button over and over, like we had to in the hostel (also minus our "hostile" roommates). We got to the hotel just in time for the walking tour with one of the professors. He took us all over town; showed us the school, places to eat, where the ski jump was for the Olympics, etc. and then it ended in a cool beer garden. Liz and I are still feeling hesitant about Austrian food, so she ordered crepes and I ordered a baked potato with spinach and cheese. Most of the kids here are from St. Mary's, but there are also some people from Texas Tech. We were semi-worried that we may not like the people in our program since we've been told that before about other study-abroad programs, but so far, we really do.

From dinner, about 10 of us went to a placed called "TT" which is like a bunch of bars set up outside. A reggae band was playing and there was a man-made beach. We stayed there most of the night and then made the walk home. On the way home, we heard music coming from somewhere, so we decided to check it out. There were a bunch of random tables set up outside and people hanging out, so we hopped the fence to join. We ended up kind of sketched out that there was a DJ spinning in a church and no one really in there, so then we went to McDonalds. European McDonalds is excellent-they have waffle fries! They also give you larger drinks than most places around here, which doesn't sound like a big deal but when you stop getting ice in your drinks and a water costs as much as a beer, you start to appreciate the small things. We decided that if we were in government here, one of the first things we would enact would be free refills for American Tourists. We spend ALL of our time being thirsty.

Today was our first day of classes, but we start around 9:00 and end at like 1:00, so it isn't too bad. All of the readings are more like college than law school though. Tonight we went to a cocktail party in a castle. Probably some of the best food we've had on the whole trip. There was a piano player, drinks, and a museum. Innsbruck is a blast.
