Austria – August 2005, The Great Flood

April: We stayed in Vienna for a couple of days, where we went to the cinema, and avoided tourist attractions at all cost. It was raining the entire time, so we read a lot, looked into booking a trip to the South of France, as well as investigated hut to hut hiking in Austria. We then traveled to Innsbruck, where the floodwaters were rising. It had not rained that hard in 35 years, and the Eastern European countries were really taking a hit. Once in Innsbruck, we checked our email and discovered that our plans had changed slightly. Royce was needed to start a project in London, so we postponed our Austrian hike and trip to Marsielle, FR. and headed for the UK.
