I do wonder about Wombats in Berlin though. If it’s like Wombats in Vienna, the partying does not disturb you IF the partying is mostly going on in the Wombar. We slept very well – when we wanted to sleep…

That A380 shouldn’t be allowed to take off. As it is, a simple flight ends up burning so much fuel. Wonder how much extra fuel a jumbo like the A380 would need, with all that weight?

How are you and Mr Lifecruiser feeling, now? A lot better I hope. That job on one of the islands in the Whitsundays is paying phenomenal money and the last I heard, they had 2,000 job applications in one day. That has to be a record of some sort.
