11 th of July Innsbruck

Today we're going to hike in the alps....Hmmm what route should we take many to choose from. Something not that hard, an easy walk for let say 3 hours. We take the furnicular and then the cableway to Zeegrube 1905 m one way of course since we're walking down.



The view is magnificent and the weather is just perfect there is still snow up here. The sun is shining and it's warm.


This is so Austria....







After a while the signs are not that easy to see anymore and we're taking short cuts at least that's what we think. Clock is ticking and my legs and hips start to hurt... At 2 pm in the afternoon we're still walking and still at 3 pm. Then my brother makes us walk down a steep. I can barley walk and there is no turning back. I can't walk upwards. Instead I'm falling on my butt on my knees and hands several meters. And my brother starts shouting stop throwing stones. I get really mad with him like I'm throwing stones I'm trying so hard to surrvive and not get killed.

At 4 pm we're down that mountain my legs is like JELLO. I can't walk on them it's impossible. Back at the hotel I feel the pain in my whole body. My brother takes a shower and some pills. But I'm not. No pills, no shower I don't care anymore and we got to walk up to the train station and buy tickets to Stuttgart that's we're going to tomorrow.



After we bought the train tickets we're having chineese and after that I'm having my shower. Good night no more walks for me ever.....ever...

10 th of July Krankenhaus and Innsbruck

Today we're taking the train to Innsbruck arriving at lunchtime. No we don't arrive at lunch time. My brother get sick on board the train. His arm wents numb and he cant't feel his fingers and his heart is beating very fast. At the next stop we get off the train. We get off in Linz and take a cab to the hospital -Krankenhaus. Wrong hospital we're out taking another cab going to the main hospital. We gets help but it takes a while because of some language problems. Service at hospitals in Austria is pretty good and very fast. The doctor and the assistant takes ECG as well as making an X-ray. It's not a heart attack. It's muscle inflamation. That's why my brothers hand and arm went numb and why it feels arround the heart. He gets some pills and salve and we're off again. Doctors orders is that he should take it easy for a while and get some rest. We don't tell him that we're planning to hike the alps in Innsbruck tomorrow... Celebrating at the train station that it wasn't a heart attac.We do what we love to do eat(lovely thai food). The hospital visit was for free, cause we had our European insurance cards with us. For the first time we're actually used them. Well not me, but my brother. After our detour and lunch we continue and arrives in Innsbruck. We get help from the tourist office. The man working at the office is really annoying but this time I shut up.
Behind the scenes
Me - Is it far away?
Behind the desk - Not as far as you have travelled.
Me - Ok how to we get there. (Annoyed)
Behind the desk - Take bus nr bla bla bla bla It's in the old part of town 3000 years old it's clean and has private bath.
Me thinking - Does it really have a bathroom if its 3000 years old.
We take the bus but it's so close by we could have walked. Idiot at the tourist information
The Gasthof Weisses Lamm look like shit and it's expensive check this out.


It looks like no one cleaned the rooms in 3000 years...
