Good Morning readers, I am currently in the town of Franz Josef, (near the glacier but unable to see it) sat in an internet bus, which is exactly as the name implies, a bus in which the internet can be used. The bus is stationary I might add. The first thing that must be said is that I have important news, readers may wish at this point to seat themselves and prepare for feelings of faintness.
