Easter

I'm playing a bit of catch up again with posts. On the long weekend at Easter time Roy and I went on a road trip. I've already talked about our trip to Liechtenstein and the fairytale, Neuschwanstein Castle so now I will talk about our time in Innsbruck, Austria. We arrived in the afternoon after our visit to Neuschwanstein and checked into our modest hotel room before heading out for a walk into town. It was a fairly quiet walk into the centre but once we got there there were lots of restaurants and cafes filled with people.

Excuse the photos, they were taken on my phone.

Easter Sunday the streets were also quiet as we walked into town but in the centre was an Easter Market which was bustling with people perusing the stalls of hand-crafted knick knacks. There was even an easter bunny hopping around posing with people in photos and handing out things to children. One thing that made it quite special and a huge novelty was the fact that it started SNOWING! It was our first experience of a white easter. I had kind of said goodbye to winter for the year but winter wasn't quite ready to leave just yet. Something we've come to expect in Europe is that everything's closed on a Sunday but to our delight there was a chocolate shop open - of course.. it was EASTER! Needless to say we bought a bunch of tasty treats to enjoy as we walked around the small markets.

We then checked out the museum in the Golden Roof which, if I'm to be honest was quite boring.

Then we wandered all around the city looking for nice things to explore.

There was a giant easter egg hunt scattered throughout the whole city.

Playing on the playground.

These toy machines were everywhere.
