Bought our Innsbruck Card today - its good for all transportation and many places to visit. We took the tram up Patsscherkofel then walked to the very top. Had lunch then started back down - on foot. Thunder storms chased us down but we got back to the hotel just before the skies opened up. We walked about 5 hours today, Great scenery from the mountain. The hills were alive with the sound of ... cow bells! People pasture their cows all over the mountains. We kept our eyes out so we wouldn't step where we shouldn't.

Back to Innsbruck for sightseeing. We looked forward to seeing the Swarovski Crystal World. What a disappointment! Later we rode around on a sight-seeing bus - itwas a bit better - but still nothing great. We saw the city better walking around by ourselves. Had dinner at a tapas bar. Sat near a man and his dog. Theman alternated between puffing on his cigarette and his oxygen tank!
