Bregenz

Basically Bregenz is right at the other end of Austria, so of course we had to go there. Even though it meant we would be on the train for a total of 15 hours, and we would only be there for 2 hours. All our friends thought we were mad, but they did agree that we should go whilst we could as it is usually so expensive to travel there.

We didn't have much time to do much but that was okay because there really wasn't that much to do and we didn't really feel inclined to do much either. How anyone manages to keep up this tourist stuff for longer than a week is beyond me.

Bregenz has a crap free tourist map. But they did have very nice ice-cream, a lovely lakeside promenade, and equally lovely lake. We went to the Taxi's and Thurn Palais which turned out to be a modern art gallery. We almost didn't enter but it was only 1 Euro each, so whatever. Which pretty much summed up our attitude to the "art".

Cool shark eh? Originally we thought it might be a real one, but it's wood. It was hanging in one of the gates to.... I think it was Martinsturm. Which was a cool little monastery.
