Team Gibbs arrives...and gets drunk with the locals

Well Team Gibbs pilot and crew have all arrived in Austria OK. Weather is warm, 35C, dry and a little humid - as we found last night when the mossies attacked us. Our 'farmstay' location was the most magnificent view over surrounding valleys and our hosts made our first night very enjoyable as they plied us with copious amounts of home made schnapps before switching to drinking games involving chopping blocks, hammers and nails.... Somewhere in the ensuing mess our pilot crashed ... into his bed, for a well earned rest. Morning brought the sight of a few balloons zipping fast across the skies- now all we have to do is find oir own balloon. Probably delivered this afternoon if all goes well. With van decoration and much IT prep done Team Gibbs is now about to taste the local 'bee-sting' cake...but maybe another beer first. Only because there's no flying this arvo

Tee hee, I can just imagine you all getting plastered on Schnapps while hammering nails - messy indeed. Sounds like a good start, wish I was there...

Incriminating photos please!! Is that called getting hammered.... are they trying to put off the opposition so that a local wins.... mmm must be tactical!
