Cant believe we have only had 5 days off work so far feels like a lifetime. Good job we needed

to be up early today as the 4 kids were up and noisy at 7.30!

14 mins ahead of schedule after doing our obligatory recycling ( u only get one free orange rubbish bag to encourage recycling ) after that they cost 2 pounds each even had space to recycle corks so we filled that up ! 3 hour trip to milan airport for lou to tearfully depart then we carried on for a further 6 hours to austria managing a mcd for lunch and only 2 Toilet stops . Been through a range of temperatures from 28.5 down to 16 and back up to 23 with sun and rain. Thighs are killing after yesterdays descent what we really need is a bath........ never mind a real bed and a meal out will have to do arrived at 6.50 room lovely albeit on the 2nd floor not good for the thighs !! Balcony and mountain views. Griswald has found a fellow giraffe at the front door . Hobbled round kaprun to find a restaurant and beer . Managed an hour back at room before falling asleep at 11
