The Old Dog Reports: Another Day Another Vacation Location!
We've changed location and now there are three of us in the Tyrol area of Italy. Yes my son is back from his visit to Rome and he's with us.
The language here is German, or rather their dialect of that language. The second language is Italian and so since my Italian is better than my German I'm using it while here. It's really bizzar to know that although everything is written in German, the culture is German and the language is German I'm in Italy. Cool!
Why do They Speak German Here?
South Tyrol was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire until it was annexed by Italy in 1918'after the WW1.
What Will We Do While Here in South Tyrol?
This time we've taken a few rooms in the town of Mülbach which is about 1 hour from Innsbruck Austria, 45 minutes to Bolzano (home of Ützi, also known as the ice-man) and hundreds of kilometres of bike trails. We plan on checking out all of them.
I Just Got Here But I'm Posting a Few Photos From The Hotel
As is my custom on this vacation I enjoyed a beer while getting my bearings in this new location.
This time our hotel is right in one of the main squares of the town. We're loving it! It's from the mid 1600's
Here's the view from our balconey. We're looking forward to exploring our area.
Thanks for following me on my travels and I look forward to sharing my adventures with you.
Until next time,
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
@kus-knee,
A family visit! A wonderful moment and enjoy well! I think I could see more beautiful photography of this travel in your next articles!
Cheers~
Thanks so much.
Sounds like you are having the time of your life! LOL Yes speaking Deutsche in Italy is weird. I had 3 years of German in high school but am very rusty. Enjoy my friend @kus-knee. I am assuming they are speaking high German?
They speak a dialect but can switch to high German.
My dear friend, every place you visit is more beautiful than another, I enjoy this holiday to the fullest and the beer you enjoy looks great, although I do not drink any liquor, I know that many like to drink a beer on vacation, continue Having, beautiful moments in that place, my good friend, I hope to continue with you going through those places. regards
Thanks!

God Bless You.
I appreciate your kind words.
Thank you dear Sir for your words, it's reply of your beautiful and grand heart.
Innsbruck as well as Salzburg are very nice!
If I may ask average cost of living and eating in this travel? Mostly Switzerland..thank you
Switzerland is an expensive place to stay. There are some budget hotels that are simple but decent and they be about 100 Frs per night. Sometimes we buy our meals at the grocery store and it is reasonable.
The highway in Italy is expensive. We paid about €20 to drive to our hotel here which was about 300 km.
Most likely you can find all you need on the internet.
I know.. just asked for a quick flavor regarding Swiss prices.. I am guessing it is like London.. Thank you!
I have heard about Italy's beauty.but didn't try to search .thanks to share your awesome visit with us.I would wait for your next post..I hope it will have alot beautiful pictures.its good you know their language otherwise this trip could be very hectic for you.have a nice journey.

Tyrol is really a beautiful area to visit! I love the architectures there (very different from my Tuscany ^_^) and the food is super! Yes, they speak German and I can say you that when they talk in italian they have really a german accent ;)
