Day 190 - People really dress like that?

Salzburg to Innsbruck - Sporthotel Schieferle

We had decided that in order to see the best of Switzerland we needed a car. After much investigation we worked out that it was much cheaper to pick up a car in Germany and return it to Germany, than to hire a car in either Austria or Switzerland, so we caught the train from Salzburg to Rosenheim. On the trip we were really surprised at how many people were wearing traditional costumes, we expected that type of dress to be only to entertain tourists, but we saw lots of people wearing it, even teenagers. It's very cute on the girls but the shorts on the men...well that's something else!

We picked up the car and drove back into Austria, this time heading to Innsbruck, where (after a short walk around town) we stayed in a guest house not far up the mountain.
