Re: Where am I ?

No supercharging today as we are having a few days in Vienna. Spent half the day at Schönbrunn Palace and the afternoon at the Zoo which is nearby. Not an awful fan of zoo’s, but we had to tick the panda off our bucket list and the Edinburgh ones are no longer there. Spent about an hour taking hundr...

Re: Xlinks snub

In my opinion it’s never getting built, no one’s going to insure it for terrorism or war so the UK government is likely to underwrite any losses to investors. Also although Mart makes good arguments for it, the government still has to sell the idea to the public who mostly will think it’s a bonkers ...

Re: Where am I ?

Did the storm "Bastian" bypass you? We had significant rain this afternoon/evening with hail in places (enough to damage cars) which was expected to hit further East later. Edit looking at current radar it all seems a little to the North atm but I'm not sure it's finished yet. We were dri...

Re: Pussy Pics

As we no longer have our two cats who lived very active lives at Nowty Towers we like the visiting cats we regularly get. This one we call pretty cat and visited us (virtually) through our doorbell camera tonight. She was happily sitting on our driveway. https://i.postimg.cc/G2bYydzq/IMG-0255.png 5 ...

Re: Where am I ?

A well stocked fridge with all sorts of cold drinks, you just help yourself and write your room number in the log. Somehow I don’t think that would work in the UK. :lol:

3 Euros for 0.5 litre bottle.

7.30pm and still 30 degrees.

Re: Where am I ?

In Austria now, we did a long relatively slow drive through one of the valleys. Absolutely beautiful and I can see why chris_n lives out here although I think he’s over a mountain range further north. I was the only customer at a 12 stall Tesla supercharger in Spittal an der Drau where we did a long...

Re: Where am I ?

Yesterday was Sirmione on the southern end of lake Garda, a very nice place but the temperature is currently crazy hot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirmione#References Today had one more EV charge and a relatively short hop to Trento were it was still uncomfortably hot. We had a surprise free musi...

Re: 2027 solar eclipse

There is also another one next year starting SW of Iceland, down off the west coast of Ireland and finishing the very extreme tip of NW Spain. I think it’s going to be a low in the sky one so more likely spoiled by cloud. But we will almost certainly give it a go as it’s relatively close to us for t...
