Weekend in the Alps

When waking up, the train had arrived in the Alps region. I've never been in the Alps before, so I couldn't tear my eyes off of that view. These mountains were so huge! It looked so ridiculous, making me feel so small. But I had no time to really appreciate the Alps, as we were arriving at Innsbruck. I packed my things in a hurry and jumped out of my last night's accommodation, into the arms of Tobi. He greeted me rather passionately, I haven't expected that much of him. He told me that his mother had sent him to shop for groceries, so we went into the next shop and got something called "Erdäpfelkäs", which basically is a cream from potatoes, used for sandwiches. I thought it to be hilarious, and laughed until we were standing at the cashier. After paying our groceries, we got into his car and he drove us home. This ride was visually so pleasing as we had to drive higher and higher. Innsbruck lays in a valley, and Tobi and his mother live at the top of one of the surrounding mountains. Everything is breathtaking. The height, the view, the pressure on my ears. But it's just beautiful, and I finally understood people who liked the mountains. I began to like them as well. We offloaded everything from our shopping, and I was greeted as a long-lost relative by Tobi's mother. Then I got a tour around their huge house and was stunned by the view they had over the Innsbruck valley. They had to be so rich to be able to afford this house! Anyway, I loved it. As Tobi had to help his stepdad with something around the house, I decided to have a stroll around the village and took some amazing photos. When I came back, dinner was ready, and we enjoyed the evening by watching Prison Break. When we didn't want to pay attention to the series, we paid attention to each other and released some tension.Read more
