Today we started a guided city tour to the capital of Tyrol with our customer John.  Here are a few impressions of this lovely city:

St. Annas column
In front of the golden roof - the most important sight in Innsbruck
Completed in 1500, the roof was decorated with 2,657 fire-gilded copper tiles
And now - 148 stairs waiting for us
Good workout for the oncoming food
Viewing platform on the city tower of Innsbruck
Innsbruck Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of St. James
