Mountains, mountains, mountains!

We are in Innsbruck, Austria right now, packing up and getting ready to head to the Top of Tyrol! Tyrol is the region here, and the mountain summit is at approx 3120 m. (I can´t remember exactly and Ivan, who would know, is packing up the tent :) ) We will drive to Eisgrat and then hike up the rest of the way which will only take about an hour and a half. Last night we toured around the aldstat (old town). It was beautiful! The aldstat is picture perfect and surrounded by the alps. Again the computer I am on is not equipped to upload pictures. You will have to wait! Tonight we plan to be near Neuschwanstein so that we can visit Mad King Ludwig´s castle tomorrow morning. We have also added Switzerland to our itinerary because there were some mountain peaks that were calling to us. We left Italy a day and a half early - the constant heat was getting to us. I am able to wear a t-shirt for the first time since England this morning (as apposed to a tank top). As a side note - every country has a different keyboard, so it is always somewhat of a challenge to type. The letters are all in different places. The French keyboard was the worst, this one is the best so far.
