tom911 and I are at the bus stop for M at the central station but no sign of anyone else. Next bus at 10:07. I'm looking for an ATM which accepts my card!
P.S. I see szg and co must have been on the bus we saw leaving but we didn't think you would be on it! We are now on our way. Leave some goodies for us as we are starving.

We just left Innsbruck by train back to Salzburg.
I have to thank Martin for the perfect restaurant organization and all the informations I got from him.
It was a pleasure to meet you all and thanks for coming. I also enjoyed our small group and we had a lot of fun.
My children passed the test run for staying in a hotel and doing group activities.
I wish everybody a safe travel back home and I hopefully see you all in the near future again.

Thanks szg and martin_ for organising the weekend. The choice of restaurants was amazing and those who didn't come for brunch today missed another treat.
Waiting for my (slightly) delayed flight to FRA at the airport but be warned more food pictures will follows.
Safe travels everybody!

It was a pleasure to meet you all and I hope to see you soon again at another DO or in Innsbruck! Should you be around, there is a regular meetup here (the thread is linked in my signature) or feel free to contact me directly.
Have a good and safe trip home!

Thank you for arranging the bright sun and disappearing cloud cover for my departure. Might have to join gvd-iad in getting some morning photos today.
Had a great weekend. Thank you to everyone responsible for the logistics and to all my fellow FTers who came in to enjoy Austria at its best.
Off to Munich in just over 2 hours.

Some photos from Sunday:
Photos for this segment start here: https://tom911.smugmug.com/…/2015-In...230;/i-sMDhRDW
From brunch at Soul Kitchen, well worth the 25 euros:
Came back into the city, visited the Golden Roof Museum (in and out of there pretty quickly), then some mountain views before I went back to the hotel.
Sunday night dinner location:
And this morning just before departure:

So lili and I went to Mutters and Natters, both quaint attractive villages
but not perhaps worth the praise heaped on them by the Innsbruck
Tourist Board. Today in Garmisch; tomorrow to Wank past Partenkirchen,
which I suppose will make us W@nkers. By the way, FT's censoring
mechanism made me do that. I hope everyone's travels have been
as entertaining (and, today, beautiful) as mine.

Thanks to the hosts, organizers and all the other FTers for a wonderful DO. It was good to see some familiar faces and meet new FTers. This was my first visit to INN but hopefully not the last.
