Innsbruck, Austria. June 7, 2024

Today was filled with twenty-two kilometres of promenading, some shopping in between, sipping here and there, seeing pretty sights and just living the life.  I opted for a later start as laziness settled in at the start of the day. Once I got going, I really got going!   Between promenading, I sashayed through the shopping district which was wow and meandered around looking at the towers, monuments, architecture then strolled through a beautiful public gardens.  I will share my promenading photos.

It was a hot humid day, best to make sure your water bottle is full.

I arrived at the second promenade which was the one I was most interested in. 

I eventually reached the airport.  That’s it right there in the middle.  Seeing it from this angle put into perspective why it is a difficult airport to land at.  The day I landed here, I could see out the window that we were very very low for an extended period.  Once the wheels touched down, in a matter of a few seconds we were coming to a halt, then a few seconds of taxiing was all there was.  It was like the plane was stopped in the middle of a small parking lot.  We walked down the stairs, across the short tarmac and into the airport.  While on the tarmac, it felt like if I reached out, I would touch the mountains, 

I carried on along the promenade for another while enjoying the pasture scenes.

Upon my return to the Old Town, I stopped off for a beer and a bite to eat.

Shopping came next along with taking in all the non promenading sights.  The route towards the next promenade went by where I hopped on the first cable car yesterday.  This was the entrance and then down an escalator.

I was up on those mountain peaks yesterday 

I zoomed in as far as I could and that was just enough to be able to see where I had lunch yesterday.

After all the promenading, it was time for a promenade cap!
