Since Joe has now gotten us down to Tirol already, I will chime in here.
As a PSA, here the link to the thread building up to the hardship:
What else friends are for? You see, I am rather "bequem". The "...lets stay down in the Wirtschaft and have a Bier" - type.
Now, that does not fly with Joe - at all.
Constantly he will be looking "Up".
Next day after staying in the little Gasthaus found us traveling to Italy - to Southtirol - to the Dolomites.
