A committee meeting was held this morning to discuss the plan for the next few days, and some tweaking agreed, and then a sub committee meeting to discuss what to do today. As both Andy and I were involved in this meeting, no messing prevailed, decisions were made and it was all over very quickly.

So the day off involved 3 museums telling us about Tyrolean life, crafts and art and battles in summary. We took a tram ride to a museum below the Olympic ski jump which was all about a famous battle in 1809 of the Tyrol vs the Rest of the World and the Tyrol won. A huge 360 degree panoramic painting depicted a key scene with the baddies beginning to retreat, off the very hillside on which we were all standing above Innsbruck. You probably have to see it to get the drama of it all, but here is a bit of it.

Anyway, it all explained the proud Tyrolean culture. And here is Helen with the Tyrolean hero of the hour.

The point that we had wanted to see the ski jump got a bit lost along the way, but we did see it from afar. Here is the view back over Innsbruck.

Cool and wet weather here and last night somehow I felt a curry was called for. On Lonely Planet advice I sought out a Nepali restaurant and we enjoyed Dhal Baat and chicken tandoori, naan and rice and went back for more tonight. Himal is the restaurant, and is highly recommended if you need a curry in this part of the world.

Track of the day:
Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men.
Not sure I know what the song is about but I have been listening to their album again and I like this tune. It can remind me of our little talk this morning.
