Day 20 - Tuesday 27th November We woke quite early to get our 8.50am train to Innsbruck via Verona. After stuffing down a quick breakfast as the breakfast room opened, we trekked through a few streets and bridges to get a ferry to the station.

There is the usual assortment of museums and craft opportunities, but none that look likely to justify their entrance cost.
