| Well, since you have asked, Mrs Ambassador and I have been trying out this "holiday" practice you seem to favour here on Earth, for the last week.
Since most of the staff at the Embassy are human, we have had to oblige their requests, so thought the lack of AusGate was a perfect opportunity to try the experience ourselves. Now I must admit that I think we have some jesters in the Embassy staff - they recommended the Lake District here in the UK. We have many holograms of Reetalia around the building, and this must have been the basis for our staff to suggest the Lakes for our break.
As you can imagine, we were quite suprised by the landscape and weather, which was as far from that on Reetalia as can be imagined. Instead of beautiful, sandy deserts, with bracing, dust-laden wind-storms, we found awful lush, green and above-all moist acres of woodland, open grassland and lakes! Interesting and bizarre things you humans like! |
