We took the train south from Leipzig over the German border to Innsbruck, a city in the Tirol region of Austria, to visit Christian (aka Dr Stadler), a friend Jack made when he was living in Paris.

Innsbruck has been a real surprise for me (Nat). Just imagine a picture perfect city with cobbled stone streets surrounded by snow capped mountains and a jade coloured river running through it. Add a couple of cows with bells and you feel just like you are in a Milka ad!

Below Christian and Jack are pictured in front of Innsbruck's most famous landmark - the golden roof. Jack never fails to tease Christian about its tiny proportions.

Seems like summer is a good time to visit Innsbruck, Nat: It's beautiful but awful in winter. The river turns grey, and an icy gale sweeps through the valley picking the meat from your bones for months on end. The cobblestones are slippery, and wet sleet burns eyes and ears. Ouch.
