We found our excellent apartment, shopped, had lunch, slept and then walked to the Archaeological Museum of South Tyrol. The city looks and sounds German. There are German speakers everywhere.
The museum is devoted to Otzi, the copper age body found in a nearby glacier. You can look at his corpse but his clothing, weapons and tools are more interesting. Lyn raved about the quality of the exhibition. This is a reconstruction of Otzi.
He died violently over 5000 years ago.
Next stop was the tourist information centre where a very helpful lady told us there was a public transport strike tomorrow. We will plan accordingly.
Down the road was the externally exuberant duomo.
Inside it was so gloomy that I struggled to see the frescoes.
Lyn liked the front door.
The walk home was via the shops where we discovered an inexplicable porcupine and Lyn bought me a t-shirt with duck on it.
