heading to Austria, one of those 1-day trips where I checked in for the return flight way before boarding the outgoing one. Looking forward to the conference and also to catching up with a couple of good friends.

Felt like I saw more stuff in this 24-hour trip than the 2.5 days in Paris earlier this month. Driving 280km probably contributed to that, in a nice #Peugeot2008 rental except the gear "stick" is not a stick but some minimalistic lever which I'm not fond of... there's nowhere to rest my hand! Anyway @pycon_austria was great and meeting friends for dinner was wonderful. ❤️ A bottle of sparkling from the hotel was a nice touch as well.

@cybette @pycon_austria Two pictures are puzzling to me: The pink lighting in the bar or bakery, and the giant chair with an EV charger under it...

@qole

the first is a restaurant called Schau Spiel in St. Pölten (https://www.schauspiel.at/) and I guess they have a pink theme with all their furnishing and lighting. My food pics were all pink 😄

I was puzzled by the giant chair as well, with a bit of digging I found that EVN charging partnered with XXXLutz furniture store to provide charging stations across Austria. The XXXL chair is the store's symbol.

@cybette on the bright side I can go to the lounge after arrival, and have breakfast.
@ascherbaum that's a good plan 😋
