Not enough time ...

I am in the hotel lobby of the place I stayed here in Innsbruck. It has to suffice for the fact that I didn´t get nearly enough time to at least see parts of the town. I spent too much time checking out stuff for Prague which is where I will be tonight and Thursday night. They have a golden dome which is the highlight of the town´s main center and the guidebook said one of the best things to do in Innsbruck (which is mainly just a hub for those going skiing or snowboarding) is to just walk around the town and see it for what it is. Oh well, at least the place I am staying in Innsbruck has been a place for me to recommend to anyone who does come this way. Staff is very friendly, room was comfortable, even for someone my size, the shower was ... actually I am surprised I got out of it because not only was it large, but it was one of those that just soaks away all of your cares (OK, I am on vacation and I don´t have any worries ... except to be sure Prague is worth all the hype I´ve heard). I arrived at the hotel around 8 p.m. and by that time, I was ready to have a few beers at the bar here (they also serve pizzas, but I had eaten on the train so I just had two beers and chatted up the blonde bartender. Adambrau and Zillertal were the two choices on tap and I had one of each. The bartender, however, had to get home ... to her husband. :( Getting back to the other good things about this place, the breakfast is wonderful and the nice waitress even let the hotel´s dog Cindy in for a few minutes (enough time for me to pet her) before she went back outside. Nice place, called Binders Hotel. Find it in the Lonely Planet guidebook for budget trips to Europe. It is worth the splurge! Ba Ba!
