Europe 2016 Sept 19th Day 22 Innsbruck

Walked down to breakfast in the dining room this morning and past reception, no issue with the booking so all good. The hotel is lovely as you can see by the photos, old timber etc, Austrian alps style.
Hit the tourist bureau as soon as it opened and grabbed our 24hour Innsbruck tickets and then onto the town bus. Went to the Schloss Ambras Palace / museum in the hills above the city first which was exquisite with fantastic armoury, museum and gardens. A must do if in Innsbruck. Coffee in the garden was lovely,not sure about a beer at 10 like the 3 guys sitting next to us.
Back on the bus and next stop the ski jump at Bergiselstadion where the Winter Olympic games were held. ( Think Eddie the Eagle). This was a most daunting site and we caught the funicular to the top for the view. On the way up the two young girls with us screamed out loud, scaring Jane who doesn't like heights, and we quickly turned to watch a guy flying, yes flying is an apt description, down the slope. Amazing! Found out later it was Gruber Marcus who used to compete but now just enjoys risking life and limb.
Back on the bus into the city where we got off and walked around popping into the gardens and then the the Kaiserliche Hofburg (Imperial Palace) which was just beautiful, again.
A lovely City that I would definitely return to. Found ourselves a nice little cafe to have a few Gruener Veltliner's, Gwertztraminer and Pinot Noir with some meats and cheese. Finally returned to our room after another wander around the old city at night, just beautiful.
Off to Venice tomorrow.
