Today I headed north for Austria via Switzerland. It was only a short drive back down to the main road and a 30min drive to cross the border back into Switzerland.
The road was winding its way through some quite mountainous areas, lots of snow around the edges as I it climbed. Perfect weather, clear and sunny with a dry road. I then rounded three or four corners in quick succession. The view got better each time.
Truly stunning views. Absolutely quiet except for the running water. I could see hikers off the distance heading towards the mountains. It was a chilly 5 degrees celsius, but a quick walk across the snow and I was too warm with just a jumper on. This explained why the hikers were wearing t-shirts.
Continuing on towards Austria I stopped a few more times to appreciate the fantastic views.
Crossing the border into Austria I began the hunt for a public toilet. I got of the main road and headed into Stams to continue the search. I found a sign that appeared to indicate the presence of the facility I required so I parked and attempted to follow the signs. It was a very pretty place to be searching.
Eventually I was relieved and continued towards Innsbruck. I was staying just out of Innsbruck on the side of the hill overlooking the city.
Great view from my guest house
Looking the other way.
I spent the afternoon and evening sitting outside drinking local beers and much later on chatting with a friend back home.
