Funny Snippets Two.....


We have had the Van 2 weeks and yesterday Iain worked out (finally) how it goes into reverse!!!???  Jan, if you are reading this, it was exactly like you said, lift the collar!

Going up to the castle in Salzberg, we had to go in a funicular (which is a tram which goes up and down the side of the mountain)  When we hopped in to a space about the size of an average bathroom, there were the four of us and two cleaners with their gear.  It was comfortable and we could possibly fit another 2 or 3 people.  Just as the ding sounded for the funicular to head up the mountain, a bus load of Asians arrived and started to pour into our section.  There was space in other sections, but no!  13 little Asian ladies squished in!  (Iain counted them!!!!????)  Cathy was pressed ham against the glass on the other side and Iain, Alex and I lost sight of the cleaners and their gear on the other side as they were swamped by hairspray, wind breakers, big designer sunglasses and stoic faces.  Not a word was spoken by the group during the short ride to the top, I can only imagine no one could actually take a deep enough breath in the crush to waste air on words!  When we arrived, the little Asian ladies poured out to reveal the cleaners and we all watched them swarm on with rather stunned faces.  The cleaners looked at us, laughed and said something in Austrian, that we didn’t understand, but we clearly got the gist of it!  “Mien Gott verderglistheermanstatt, SERIOUSLY?????”

Quote of the Day

"Good thinking, Brussel Sprout..."  What the....??????  So from now on Alex will be known as Brussel Sprout.... and Cathy is known as Tom Tom because of her patchy skill with directions (think Outlet Store from previous post).
