    Yeah, that’ll do.

    I don’t appear to have taken many photos of this lovely cafe, but there was a friendly welcome and the venue seemed spotlessly clean. Richard and I weren’t sure where to order, but they worked around our probably wrong decision to order at the counter. There was then table service and I was looking forwards to the cake that I hadn’t realised I needed until they upsold it.

    The coffee was rich and pleasant in flavour and I’ve rather forgotten exactly what was in the cake as it’s taken me so long to write up. I do know that it was moist and seemed freshly made, with the strawberry on top showing just how healthy it was.

    We didn’t really have time to visit Imst which is an Austrian town in the state of Tyrol. Imst is perhaps best known for being home to the Schemenlauf, one of Europe’s oldest and most elaborate carnival parades, dating back over 400 years. It only takes place every four years (the next one is in 2028), and features hundreds of masked participants performing traditional dances and rituals symbolising the struggle between winter and spring. It’s now listed by UNESCO on their Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
