From the hot beaches of Italy to the cool clean of the Austrian Alps. We spent the day on the bus. We spotlighted several travelers and started to notices the sense of humor of the group deteriorates when they are trapped in a small space for an extended amount of time. It isn't that they didn't keep their sense of humor it just got downright silly by the end of the day.
There really isn't much to report today. We stopped at the church used for the wedding scene in the Sound of Music, made up some circle games to play with the soccer ball during rest stops and endured some pretty gross bathrooms.
I had to yell at the kids today. I'm getting frustrated with the online lifestyle. We have noticed that as soon as they find wi-fi they are connected. It wouldn't bother me so much if it wasn't interfering with their exploration and enjoyment of the places they are visiting. They could stay home to email, text and chat. To sit in a hotel lobby instead of go to the beaches of Jesolo or hike the hills of Austria is criminal in my opinion!
Our hotel is very nice. They have treated us well and fed us a good dinner. There is a 'European' bowling alley downstairs and the kids are currently having a great time.
OK maybe I should take back the internet rant. We have the most accident prone bunch on this trip. The only safe thing is to sit quietly in the lobby. Our latest casualty is Anna P. Her finger got caught between the side and the ball and it smashed the ring on her finger nearly flat. Pliers, ice, vaseline, and Nurse Nona and all is well. It is not broken but she'll be a bit bruised and sore but all is well.
