This has been such a busy week that I'm ready to get back on a 17 hour flight if only to get some down time! I can't believe that here it is, a Firkin Friday and I'm not going out. I have to work tomorrow so I'd rather not be tired when the alarm goes off in the morning. I say this every single week and every single week I'm wrong but I'll try it again. Next week should be easier.
Innsbruck - here despite it never being on my to-see list
First the backstory. In about a week I'll be boarding a cruise ship (this year's Cruise Trek) in Romania. When I booked the flight many months ago, I had a brilliant idea to go in a week early to Vienna and use it as a base to spend a few nights each in Albania and Bosnia. Fast forward to 6 weeks ago and the Covid restrictions, flight schedules, and hotel prices made me give up. Changing the flight to Vienna would result in penalties and possibly fare increases so I made the best of it and thought, where can I go in Austria where I've never been? Innsbruck, hmm. Can I get a free flight from Vienna? Yes! Can I get a free hotel room? Yes. Check! The city is picture perfect though. Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations. You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right, ...
Firkin Friday, eh? Well, that came and went without me ever realizing it... I suppose I'm better off too, as I woke up with a sinus headache (human barometer at work, here). Have a good flight!
