Innsbruck. Don't ask. (Austria)

Posted on 2:20 PM by Unknown
-
In Innsbruck I couldn't find a hostel---even though HI has one there...somefuckingwhere---and, even more shocking, could not find wireless Internet anywhere. Hell, I barely found one Innsbrucker who knew what was 'wireless Internet'.

Finally found a 5-star hotel called the European Hotel or something like that which had wi-fi available in the lobby---for 3euros. Not bad. Except the Front Desk led me to believe it was free so long as I patronized the bar; so on top of my tab I had to pay for being online. Me no likey surprises.

Generally speaking, I have a low opinion of places that lack access to the Internet. And that's my two cents on Innsbruck.
