Linz, Linz, what to say about Linz. Not much really.
The drive to Linz from Salzburg is a relatively short 1 hour. We arrived about 10:30 or so, parked the car, and had a bit of a walk. Still raining. We visited the Linz castle – Schlossmuseum Linz – which is now mainly a museum. Not very busy, and some interesting sections on history of life in northern Austria. We then had lunch at one of the few restaurants open – its Sunday, and most shops and restaurants are closed. To beat the rain, we thought we’d try another museum, the Nordico Stadtmuseum, which was supposed to have a history of Linz. Turns out that history was contained entirely in one room of about 20×20 feet. The second floor was closed for renovations. Good thing we got half price sunday admittance! Had a walk back to the hotel through the mainly deserted streets, checked in, and had a little nap.
Around 5 we were thinking what we could do, and I checked out movies. Turns out Oppenheimer was playing at an art theatre quite close to our hotel, and it was in english (with German subtitles). So we took in the movie, then a dinner, now back at the hotel.
So we didn’t get to see a lot of Linz, but Linz was mostly closed today anyway. That’s how it goes sometimes! The few pics I have below.
Sometimes, going to a movie is the only thing you can do. And sometimes it can be a different experience (England has two types of popcorn, salty or sweet!). We caught Oppenheimer yesterday, too, then it occurred to me what day it was – August 6th.
