After a wonderful visit to Zurich, I am now in Innsbruck, Austria. I think we even went through Lichtenstein, one of the smallest countries besides the Vatican (it´s its own country) and Luxembourg, which will be a stop on my tour too in a few days.
I am in Innsbruck, though I guess I could have gone on to at least Salzberg, former stomping grounds for Mozart, but I chose to come to a city that has hosted two previous Winter Olympics (1964 and 1976) and with this trip being partly because of Torino hosting the Olympics, I figured I should see what a town looks like that has been there before. It is much smaller than Torino (population only about 120,000 compared to Torino´s close to a million, which by the way, makes Torino the largest city to ever have hosted the WINTER Olympics).
I am off to the hotel I am staying in for the night -- it is listed in my Lonely Planet guide "Europe on a shoestring (budget) as I wanted to find some different places to stay along this route I´ve hammered out for myself.
I am actually also looking ahead to my time in Prague, Czech Republic which will be tomorrow night and then the full day on Thursday before I head to Berlin, Germany for a few days. When I am in Prague, I am hoping, hoping, hoping I can secure a ticket to see a hockey game there. Czech hockey is some of the best in the world that isn´t the NHL guys. If this works out, this will give me a chance to see some guys who maybe could be in the NHL down the road or, at least Long Beach Ice Dogs players.
We´ll see, but for now, I go see Innsbruck.
Ba Ba!
