@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

There's a hiking trail 400m over the valley floor on the left side in this photo. It's beautiful, but if you're nervous about heights it might not be for you.

It's beautiful.
Packed with tourists though.
Go early and do the hike on the east side of the valley....

This whole area is. I can't recommend it highly enough.

We were thinking about it, but the weather looks like it'll hold, so maybe another hike instead. We'll see. :)

We hiked 11km today with over 500m height difference in 30c weather. We both drank over 3 litres each and still felt thirsty, yet there were people hiking in flip flops with just a bottle of coke or nothing at all. That's how you get heat stroke people. Drink!

If you're pro Putin. You support murdering cunts.

If you're pro the current Israeli government. You're support murdering cunts.

If you're pro Hamas. You support murdering cunts.

Stop waving fucking flags and start fucking thinking you stupid cunts.

We both suffering in the heat. 30+C outside, no air conditioning in the hotel room. Everybody is just waiting for the sun to go down so we can let in cooler air.
