At the top of the hill, the ski slope used for the Winter Olympics in the 1960s(?).  Looks a bit weird without snow!

A tram - this one running on rails.  Later in the Switzerland photos we see one running on road tyres...

The Basilika Wilton at Innsbruck.  To be a Basilica (Latin spelling) rather than an ordinary church is conferred by the main Catholic church in Rome...

Interior of the Basilika Wilton (not unlike that of the Basilika St Georg at Wallduern, Germany, which is actually not many tens of miles away).  To have a look, click here, and when you've seen that page, click on your Back button to come back here.

Our accommodation for that night at Igls, near Innsbruck.  Memorable for the Sri Lankan barman who was a good laugh, and for the fact that Igls had a shop open at 7.30a.m. selling English newspapers and camera film - it's only an Alpine village!
