Intersport Kaprun

Number 1 of 7 holiday backblips; posted on Monday 29th August.

Early start for a drive to Glasgow; arrived Kaprun mid afternoon via flight to Salzburg, where it is hot and sunny, yipee. Forecast for next few days is hot and sunny, yipee. The local swimming pool has been closed and replaced with an expensive out-of-town spa, definitely not yipee. How annoying, no post-climb dip in the pool and sunbathe, bummer.

This is the fancy new Intersport, which hosts an amazing range of colourful outdoor kit that never seems to find its way to UK stores; although with the prices demanded, it probably wouldn't matter. £700 for a ski jacket anyone?
