After a week of work, we're ready to open the restaurant on Monday. Last night's adventure was having the car break down in the rain on the way home from work. People in Samoa help each other out when needed. The family whose house we broke down in front of invited us in (we declined) and then they watched out for us until the two truck arrived. A couple of guys pulled over and offered us help and a ride. We had known all week this would happen as the power steering on the van was getting worse each day. Now we have a replacement car and as we drove it to the hotel last night we arrived home with smoking brakes. I guess that car is getting returned and we'll try again.

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,
hey i love this place !!
