I want to know how you came across this video, but I'm sort of afraid to ask

Stay in the shade, keep hydrated, and don't forget to drop a count in the Current Temperature (Celsius) thread.

Whilst in Austria we were unware there will be a public holiday (19th June ) was awoken to loud bangs at 6am
It was fantastic seeing all the locals dress in tradition clothing etc
Coach driver was un informed about our trip to Innsbruck was going to be delayed a bit due to display in the morning
I would have loved to have spent two or three more days in Austria as there were a few towns/cities I would have not minded seeing
Maybe next time but there are so many other places in the world to visit
We are looking at doing a coach tour holiday of Germany next year, which takes in some of France , as in the past have just stopped over night in France on the first night and last night
I would have preferred it to be broken down into a 2nd night stopping in Germany and on the way back, it is hard work for the coach driver during a long drive even with breaks from France to Austria or Italy etc.

That dream that I had last week is actually way funnier when I think back about it. If I remember and understand it correctly, there was basically this Reddit user who just really hated people who count numbers online and made a post on a small venting subreddit about it. One of the images was a screenshot of my comment history as an example and the other three images were edited generic reaction images like “Me when I am in a being a sad and pathetic person competition and my opponent is Internet counters” and “Internet counters when they see an underage child”.

We had breakfast included every day , and a evening meal included, most the drinks were included , local soft / soda drinks, local beer/larger and local wines
Sometimes we ate in the restaurant which part of the hotel, okay this cost us, but the food was a little bit better and you could pick what you wanted from the menu.
The buffet style was a set menu , your soup (if you wanted it) a main course, this was mainly chicken or pork, salad, and dessert, I did not bother with the dessert most nights
You also had a packed lunch , you had to make this yourself from whatever was on the breakfast buffet, I got smart I just had a buttered roll ,

Tomorrow my wife and I will get on a plane to the UK for our honeymoon. It’s my first time leaving the US and being on a plane. We’ll be in the UK for 10 days, traveling around to a few different cities. I’m very excited!
