Visiting Austria
After having lunch in Lichtenstein, we continued onto Austria. En route we halted at the internationally renowned Swarovski Crystal Worlds in Wattens, and was dazzled at the 'Chambers of Wonder'. In a wondrous blue hall dominated by a Unicum- a wall of crystal, we saw the world's biggest crystal and its smallest. We continued a scenic drive to Innsbruck.

This capital of the alps, has a history of 800 years! We spent quality time walking down the streets of Innsbruck in t
