gothikmausHELLO FLIST! *collective hug* Did you miss me?
*silence*
Uhm. *cough* Well! I had fun in Tirol and I'm gonna write a looooong and boring entry about the last 3 days. With pictures! You've been warned.
Meine Reise nach Tirol - mit Bildern!
First of all I have to tell you I was with my mother. I hadn't made a journey with her since I was 16 years old and let me tell you, it's like going around with a little girl. She's very enthusiastic and was always pointing at things and saying "Look at this! Hey, did you see that?" which can be a little annoying at times, but in the end it wasn't so bad. My poor mum. :P
All right, onto the trip.
Day 1: we left at 6.00 am (UGH) and arrived in Innsbruck around 11.30 am. The first thing I did there was going straight to Müller, following the directions![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fanes gave me. I'll never thank you enough for the info. Needless to say I spent way, WAY too much money there. I got:
- Geräusch
- Endlich Urlaub! (they didn't have Am Ende der Sonne *sad*)
- the Venus im Pelz Hörbuch (it was the first CD I saw when I got to the "A" section and I grabbed it at once! Wheeee!)
- Vollkommen Gefangen im Schattenreich von Die Ärzte
- Die Band, die sie Pferd nannten
- Rock'n'Roll Realschule
And, since I thought I hadn't spent enough money, I went into another CD shop near the Tourist Info Office and bought Runter mit den Spendierhosen, Unsichtbaren! It wasn't exactly cheap, but the fluffy case! XD
After that, quite broke but very happy, I did what every good little tourist does and visited the town. Christkindlmarkt was full of tourists, mostly Italian. How can people there stand it? I would go crazy after a week. Anyway, our guide told us a few historical facts and showed us the main things. I was surprised to see that on the Goldenes Dachl there's the badge of Milan, a serpent eating a baby (we're nice, aren't we? :P), because Kaiser Maximilian I was linked to the Sforza Family. There was also a street with characters from fairy tales on the windows and a cafe with a huge Advent Calendar on the front.
We visited the Dom and the Hofkirche and drank some Orangenpunsch. Thank God for Orangenpunsch. :P On the way back I met these funny guys. X)
Day 2: We left our Hotel in Kufstein and went to Salzburg. I was puzzled when I got a SMS telling me "Welcome to Germany", because a part of the Autobahn to Salzburg is indeed in German territory. I found it weird because from Italy, if you want to go abroad, you have to pass the Alps and the borders are still quite visible, even if you don't have to stop to show your passport anymore.
Anyway, Salzburg. Another guide showed us around and explained the obligatory historical facts. I didn't know Salzburg was an independent state up until 1803, I'd always thought it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I feel so ignorant. :(
In Schloss Mirabell there's a beautiful wedding salon and on the stairs this putto says "You want to get married? Think three times before doing it! The door is that way." XD
Then we passed in front of Mozart's Wohnhaus and I saw this. I couldn't help taking a picture. :)
After seeing the Christkindlmarkt am Domplatz and eating at Nordsee (my mother loved the salad), we walked around Getreidegasse and had some Punsch. I could get addicted to Orangenpunsch. Prost.
Followingdeutschrockgirl's directions we went to Linzer Gasse, where my mum bought a present for my dad. After dinner back in Kufstein we took a walk, there was almost no one around, but the mood was very nice.
Day 3: We stayed in Kufstein, where a totally crazy guide showed us around. We saw the Rathaus, the Bastions, walked along the Inn and entered Römerhofgasse.
Then we went up to the Fortress, visited the ex-prison, walked through a passage built into stone (FELSENGANG! HA! I had a bit of fangirly moment there XD) and bought something at the Weihnachtenzauber market. Mmh, Lebkuchen... Also, the view was wonderful.
We were also there at midday so we could hear the Heldenorgel play. A man in front of me said it can be heard within a 50 KM distance, but I'm not 100% sure because I just eavesdropped what he was saying to someone else. In German, of course. :P
And that brings me to one of the highlights of this little trip. My mother wanted to buy some Apfelstrudel to take home to my father, so we went into this Konditorei. Unfortunately the two Italian women who had just got out had bought the last whole one and the lady told me we could have the last 4 pieces instead. I said "OK, no problem, 4 pieces are fine."
And then the impossible happened. She told me I speak German quite well. I was so happy I wanted to cry. I know my German isn't really good, but I could understand her and talk almost decently. I had a few problems with her husband, who had a bit of a stronger accent, but in the end it was all right. She even asked me what the Italian word for Lebkuchen is, but I didn't know it because it's not very popular in Italy, so she just asked me the Italian word for honey. When I looked for Lebkuchen in the dictionary I found out there is an Italian translation, but the German word is used as well, so I wasn't totally wrong.
All right! It's over! Thank you for reading so far and now I'll try to catch up with my flist before going out to celebrate Demi's birthday. Mission: Impossible. *dives into flist*
*silence*

Date: 2005-12-13 08:44 am (UTC)Yeah, I heard the Helden orgel play, I was there on Saturday at midday and it was great. And yay, I understood right! I'm way too insecure, I really should be a little more confident, but what can I do? *shrugs*
Orangenpunsch is like my new drug of choice. And it's alkoholfrei, so you can drink as much as you want. It's just the perfect thing to warm you up in winter. :)
Yes, look for the snake next time you're in Innsbruck, it's the last badge on the right, a snake eating a baby. ^__^
