Belfast at Last!

-
It took long enough - 5 years since the first opportunity but I'm finally here. How I like a city is hugely impacted by where I've been and since I've just been to Guayaquil, let me say I loved Belfast upon arrival! View from the room (night, raining, all is good.)

The hotel suggests trying a Harp since it's brewed locally so that is beer #1.

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,
