There is no greater love

A place to be recommended to go to is Croatia. First time my parents took me there in 1970 (old times in Yugoslavia) and after a very long break family went back in 2006 and last week again, this time to a place near Porec on the upper Istrian Coast. Very familyfriendly and, of course, great beer. Drink Ozujsko and Karlovacko.

Which, certainly, brings me to a plea to support our friends from the Zagreb Hash House Harriers. My personal heros, the lads who make everything possible for a special price. Take a trip down to one of their weekends, a strong recommedation from your Hash Blogger.

Anyhow, back in Vienna (and having apparently missed Ice Queens 500th and Richard Kopf's 750th  run, congrats!) it was time to explore parts of the Bisamberg again after the Sendemast got blown away a short while ago. The thing at least I was longing for most during the entire run was a glorious bottle of cold white wine . hey, we were in the middle of one of the major wino areas of Vienna! - but alas! the only thing worthwhile to report were grazing goats on top of the hill, not far from the former Antenna on top.

As we all not really had a choice but to run back downhill again, the reward for all of this - thanks to all the Dutch Hares! - was cold Pilsner Urquell!
The inspired circle featured, well, much of the same procedure as every week and then it was on off to an OnIn of the different kind, not the Weinbeisser that was planned for by the Hares, but the Heurigen right next to the parking lot where they had Freistädter Beer, Rindsgulasch and Schinkenbrote. Excellent stuff.

On Out.


I always liked Heinz Baked Beans - what about you? Get The Who's Album The Who Sell out from 1967.

Cobwebs and Strange

Wot's wrong with a little rainfall in May may I ask you? Just to whet your appetite I shall take the liberty to include a recent and brandnew pic from our very own Mr. Smile a bit further down. To be honest - which I am not supposed to be here folks - I have to give the Hares Mind the Gap and Casting Couch credit for trying out a bit of a variation which took the trail off the Donauinsel near the Nordbrücke and into the 22nd district which contains the Floridsdorfer Aupark and after crossing a major intersection near the Floridsdorfer Spitz, right into the old Wasserpark. Led by Mr. No Balls Prize, Gangster and Flying Dutchman, the crossover back to the Donauinsel and eventually back to the carpark happened in no time. Not too much variation possible with setting trails in this area IMHO.
The circle in the pouring rain mainly featured the unexpected appearance of My Pint of View and Circle Jerk who happened to drive to Brigittenauer Brücke (wring starting point) and then walk on over all the way to the Floridsdorfer Brücke. Tuff.

On Out.

A smile a day puts the rainfall away

And now, dig The Who. Get their album A Quick One from 1966.
