The next day proved interesting as a number of guests went on an optional excursion to the Czech Republic. I opted to do a walkabout, with Citra the travel agent from Jakarta, around Austria’s third biggest city, Linz. Austrian cities are small and Linz has a population of under 200,000.
The main square is quite compact and bisected by the tram lines and has a striking Trinity Column (you find that in a lot of towns in Austria) in the centre. Grab the famous Linz Torte (a sweet tart) – I grabbed something better – a cute little glass of Freistadter Beer.
