Up the Hafelekarspitze in Innsbruck

It turned out to be a good day to walk through the Old Town over to the Hungerburgbahn funicular that carried us across the river and to the first of two cable cars that deposited us near the peak of Hafelekarspitze, an elevation of 7657 feet. Innsbruck’s elevation is 1,887 feet, making it a steep trip.

In the first cable car was a couple kissing so passionately that it was funny. Luckily we didn’t bump into them again.

The girls took a break on the playground while Brian experienced annoying difficulties buying a bottle of water.

They even met a little friend who could speak German and English fluently, as did her little brother.
