So after a long long kip the Mrs decided to take me for lunch at “top of the world” restaurant at the Stratosphere which revolves and takes 1hr 22mins to do a complete circuit, so we had lunch for that exact amount of time.
Tomorrow we head off to pick up the 28ft RV and head out to Kingman.
Thanks Bel for the emails, we’ll swap with you honest.
The view from our room at the Bellagio across the fountains. Looks like Mrs Foggy done us proud with her planning yet again.
Although up to 8pm the fountain runs every 30 mins, from then to midnight it’s every 15 mins, so you really needs to close your curtains to sleep.
Sat here at Gatport Airwick waiting for our flight now, customer service UK style as always stinks, but hey we are on our way to two weeks of fun, Vegas, The Grand Canyon and Roswell New Mexico.
Very tired and looking forward to a few nights in the Bellagio hotel before heading out in the house on wheels. Oh my 28 foot long with a massive turning circle, that’s not the worry though, the one that does bother me is the fact that Mrs Fogg actually took 7 attempts to reverse a car in a parking bay, gave up and went to another one then took 3 more attempts to park. This all in something a quarter the length of an RV, oh well bang goes the No Claims Discount 🙂
And They’re orf.
It has been such a hectic last few months, Mrs Foggy is in charge of people again and travelling all over the place and Mr Fogg is still on contract doing what he loves so much (mmmmm).
So today has been hectic up at 6pm, and out to work for 7.15am then off to pick up Mrs Foggy from work at 3.30pm and a 4 hour drive to Gatport Airwick, luggage checked in and to the hotel for 9pm. Long Long day.
Tomorrow the plane and Vegas here we come.
Say ello to my gnashers. Me had a crown fitted now, so I asked to keep the cast of me gob and here it is.
Look at it this way when I need falsies I can just slip these bad boys in and I’m good as new!
Of all the sights to come across in Linz, I find this pair loitering near the main square. So, last night in Linz and what have I managed to achieve/learn:
1)Austrians may speak German but it’s a very different dialect to Germany with some very different words.
2)Linz is pretty dull in the rain
3)They smoke very strong cigarettes here, and a lot
4)Austrians eat HUGE lunches but snack at night
5)My heavy cold has still not gone yet. Boo
6) There are NO English channels on the TV except BBC Entertainment which is showing wall to wall old BBC dramas complete with canned laughter. Yawn.
7) I’m tired after two very long days if meetings here
8) I finally succumbed to a large glass of wine at the hotel

And today sees Mrs Fogg off on a whirl wind tour of Manchester to Dusseldorf to Linz to Manchester then Bournemouth and finally to home.
Bags all packed, kitchen sink extracted and she’s gawn, booo. it’s going to be a hectic few days for my hardworking, uber geek.
Me and the Spikester will hold the fort until she returns in about 7 days time, no doubt the little lady will post some reviews of Linz and tell us how fantastic all the history (yawn) is.
The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven.
At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. ‘Since you’ve been such a good man and your motorcycles
have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.’
Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, ‘ I want to hang out with God.’
St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.
God recognized Arthur and commented, ‘Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycle? ‘
Arthur said, ‘Yeah, that’s me…’
God commented: ‘Well, what’s the big deal in inventing something that’s pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can’t run without a road?’
Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally spoke, ‘Excuse me, but aren’t you the inventor of woman?’
God said, ‘Ah, yes.’
‘Well,’ said Arthur, ‘professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention !
1. There’s too much inconsistency in the front-end suspension
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds
3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble about too much
4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust
5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!!
‘Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there,’ replied God, ‘hold on.’
God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results.
The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.
‘Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed,’ God said to Arthur, ‘but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours’.
No don’t worry, not another holiday booking, simply the end of another fantastic weekend.
Rounded off by a trip to Tokyo Joes’s in York and the Blues Brothers tribute band at the Grand Theatre.
Only 5 more days until the next weekend.
Wooo
