Another Gorge-us Day in Bled
I should have known that our big travel delay yesterday would mean a ‘compromise’ today. I don’t mean that wimpy 50/50 stuff, no, when we ‘compromise’, it’s either zero/100 or nothing. Here’s how it typically unfolds.
Sometimes, things just go wrong – in Austria
They say “be careful what you wish for”. Well, just this morning, I said to Nanette that it would be so much nicer if our trip to Slovenia was along the old roads rather than that big sterile freeway. Well, the wassergersplunkinkonnektor sure fixed that!
