Bus Driver Burns Pool Towels

Where: Italy

Ever stayed at a resort, enjoyed your breakfast, then wandered down for a day poolside only to discover that a bunch of other tourists have "saved" all the good spots by creeping down at dawn and leaving their towels there?

We have, and we hate it. But not as much as one British guy who recently got his revenge. At Viana Marina, a resort on the Italian Riviera, the bus driver for a group of Welsh tourists decided that his poor customers had complained one too many times about the early morning towel layers. He collected up every towel from every sunbed--which he claims, fitting the stereotype, were all left there by German tourists--and burnt them in a beach bonfire. Perhaps it's a good thing the Germans are creating their own exclusive Italian resort where such behavior will probably be greeted with smiles rather than smoke.
