I can¥t believe there is only 1 week to go!
Good morning all from beautiful Innsbruck.
I haven´t used the Internet in 3 days and it feels so strange. The keyboard is also pretty weird so bear with me. I believe I last left off on the French Riviera, where life was fantastic. I will definately go back there again. Actually all of France has been pretty great. From Nice we headed off to a very hot and humid day of walking around Florence. Florence is a very nice city and definately worth going to. We had a fantastic dinner at this restaurant called Chetoza (or something like that). There was much wine, singing and dancing and the food was fantastic! From Florence we went off to Venice which was amazing! I wished I would have had more time to wander the streets. One day was just not enough. We also travelled by gondola for 40 minutes and believe me that only makes you want more! Travelling through Venice by gondola is the only way to go (spend the extra $$ and get the accordion player . . . it is sooooo worth it). I was sad to leave Venice, but believe me the scenery in Northern Italy made me forget all about Venice. The Dolomite range and the small towns peppered between the mountains were breathtaking. We arrived in Innsbruck yesterday afternoon and saw the Olympic skijump and had a lovely dinner (whoo-who Wiener Schnitzel just like Mom makes . . . I was in heaven). Today we are off to Munich and Oktoberfest. Unfortunately my Oma is not feeling well enough to come out and play. I will have to wait until Spring to see her again. Wish me luck at Oktoberfest . . . it might be hard to get me back on the coach as I probably won´t want to leave. Maybe I´ll just show up on Oma´s doorstep and live here happily ever after. I just can´t believe how much I missed Germany, it´s good to be back!
If I can overrule my willpower I will see you all in a week!
Tchüss!
