Europe Trip: Day 7 (Lofer, Innsbruck, and Lucerne)

Our Lofer AirBNB was probably our best one. The town itself was gorgeous, and we could have spent a whole day there. (I included a pic of the house where we stayed so you can see how pretty the area is).


After stopping by a grocery store and grabbing some breakfast, we went on a nearby hike.


Then we checked out a cool cave. We didn't get very many good pictures there because it's hard to get good pictures in a cave, but it was really cool. I would love to tell you the name of this cave, but I have no recollection of that.


We also went to this really cool gorge.

The water was freezing, and my feet hurt by the time I got out of the water after waiting for Eric to get a good picture.

We popped into Innsbruck, Austria. We were literally there for about an hour. As far as towns go, it was a lot like other European towns. We took a few pictures, but our camera settings were off, so our Innsbruck pictures are all blurry. We went to a church, and it was cool.

As we drove along to Switzerland our GPS took us through Lichtenstein, which was not the route Eric had planned out. He was annoyed, but Andrew and I were overjoyed to add another country to our list. We were in Lichtenstein for a less than 10 minutes.

We also went to Lucerne, and in hindsight we were sad we had stopped in Innsbruck at all because we would have rather used that time in Lucerne. (Again, camera settings were off, so the pics are not stellar.)

We saw the famous statue honoring the Swiss Guard soldiers who were killed in the French Revolution. It really was beautiful, and the park that houses it was lovely.

We watched about two minutes of a World Cup game while we were walking the streets. It was neat to be in Europe during the World Cup since the Europeans (by and large) care so much about it. This game was Spain verses Iran (I think!).

We needed to hurry to get to our AirBNB that night since it was the one night where we were actually staying in the same home as our hosts (as opposed to a vacant apartment). We didn't want to arrive too late, or else we would have spent more time in Lucerne.
