Sunday January 13^th

As our last day in Innsbruck we made a simple breakfast and packed up all our stuff. Juliets host dad helped build a meusm (Bergisel)in Innsbruck so we visited it free of charge before heading to the Bahnhof. The museum overlooked the city with a great view. Upon entering we got little touch screen tour guiders with ear pieces. We would type in a number (that we would see on a wall or the floor) and it would give us information on that part of the museum. The main exhibit was a panorama painting of the local Tyrolians fighting off a Bavarian invasion during in the early 19^th century I believe. I was huge, about 20 feet tall and all the way around the room. Apparently they moved the painting to this site by helicopter and now it is on display. The guided tour told us who important people were, what was happening ar the time of the battle and all sorts of interesting facts about the battle. Connected to the Bergisel museum was the Kaiserjägger museum (translates to King Hunter, but it means something else). There were 6 floors of Tyrolian kings, important generals and soldiers, old flags, classic muskets and paintings. At the top was a fancy touch screen information center with a large rotating wheel. We took a group photo outside at a Gazebo then drove to the Bahnhof. Our train came at 4 and we headed home. It was a great weekend, Innsbruck is like a smaller Vienna (120,000 people) in the mountains. I could easily see myself living there.
