😃 The Little Pleasures of Everyday Life

Think Kentucky Fried Pork Loin then it makes sense.
Don’t worry I’ll take you the best place in town for them when you guys come on our European Tour next season!

OK here’s a pertinent quiz question for you Philip. How do you sex a pig…

Answer: The one on the left is called “Rodney” and the one on the right is “Daphne”

Long haul today. Mountains 1st thing then driving to Prague.
En route is the Spa town of Kudowa Zdrój - been before with Mrs P_F
I remember having amazing fresh Trout

I look for a parking space - nothing. Except right outside the Trout shop thing.

This morning I picked up 4 ladies all living in Germany all 50 ish to take them from the mountains to Krakow Airport.
2 actual Germans 1 Pole 1 Russian.
We did chat in English they wanted to know why I was in Poland. Usual stuff.
Then discovered they were going to Prague when I said I couldn’t do a “City Tour” for them.
The Pole & Russian switched to German and were debating coming with me, crashing at my hotel and banging my brains out.

Now obv that wasn’t gonna happen, but at the airport I wished them a good flight, and gave them my card if they or their friends were ever coming back & wanted tours.
In German.
Oh how I kept a straight face as the two ladies went purple. Oh how their 2 pals laughed.
Sweet…
(They were way to old for me btw)

Oh.
And at their hotel the manager of the US travel agency met them.
The Lady, said, thankyou so much for sending Philip for today, we’ve had the best day of our trip, he’s so informative and so different from all the other guides weve had so far.
Boom!
We are their contracted partners here.
May need more drivers.:roll_eyes:
Today’s tip means I’ve earned more in tips in a week than Mrs P_F earns in a month.

I’d keep quiet about that mate. If she finds out, and I speak from bitter experience with the ex-wife, it’ll be “oh, if you can earn that much with a few cash backhanders why should I work all month for the same?”

Being able to rant about some of the stupidities of driving in Poland to people who are reviewing it.
And receiving “that’s a good point we must add that to the discussion” reply!

Picked up a pleasant couple in Łańcut last night (clients @scotty)
Today their plan was to see the Castle.
Nightmare.
System changed so took 40 minutes to get tickets but off we go.
Part 1 only in Polish, so we ask her to STFU.
Parts 2 & 3 not until 14:00 and we needed to be on the road. Part 4 not even open despite having tickets.
So we wandered and snapped


They’d been with the boss & proper guides all week around Poland. Stopped on Motorway for bathroom then found they hadn’t even had Chicken Noodle Soup.
Sorted that
Just sent them down the Salt mines, but they said before that this was the best day of the trip.
No bloody data being dumped on them.
Sweet
