Today was a fairly restful one after the excitement of Zillertal. We checked out at 10am from the Gutshof and they gave us a small box of chocolates and a CD called ALPEN-ROCK. Subtitle was Power hits the Folk Music. They charged to our room someone else's afternoon tea so that balanced out. The place has 4 star rating and was very good, but we were not offered all of the goodies that were promoted in the voucher we bought for $900.
It was a two kilometre walk to the station and a pleasant train ride through the valley back to the main train line at Jenbach, where we were to board one of those long international trains, this one coming from Vienna. We studied the coach layout on the platform advisory notice and sat waiting exactly where we thought our coach 21 would stop. In fact we had to run nearly a hundred metres further along while the guard was blowing his whistle and waving his arms. This has happened before to us and it will happen again.
Another spectacular journey through Innsbruck to St Anton. Last trip in 2012 we passed the St Anton Station twice but saw nothing, so this time we have a full day to explore it. We found our Guest House, using a compass and google walking directions, taking 20 minutes. That will be our quota of walking for today.
Anyway, it started raining and thundering soon after we unpacked. There seems to be no other guests here so with no TV set the name Tirolean Peace is fitting, and the shared bathroom situation means no sharing for the third time this trip.

The whole town is peaceful and we could not find a restaurant open, so bought fruit and pastries from the supermarket. The church nearby was open for 6pm mass. There is a TV in the breakfast room which we will use tomorrow.
