Everyone is looking forward to a holiday after coronavirus lockdowns are lifted - but overweight travellers need not try booking at a hotel on Germany's North Sea.
The Beachhotel Sahlenburg has issued a new policy formally warning that "for reasons of liability, we would like to point out that the interior is not suitable for people with a body weight of more than 130kg".
Apparently the property prides itself on its "elegant designer furniture" which is just not strong enough to support heavier weights.
Authorities say they believe the anti-obesity policy does not amount to discrimination unless guests are so obese that they are considered to be disabled.
A BELGIAN doctor aged 103 is doing his bit to help out during coronavirus, raising funds for COVID-19 research by walking a marathon around his garden.
Alfons Leempoels is a retired GP living near Brussels, and started his 42.2km trek at the beginning of the month.
Each day he does 10 laps of his garden, each 145m long - three in the morning, three at noon, and four just before dinner.
He's following in the footsteps of 100-year-old Briton Tom Moore who raised more than 32 million for the UK National Health Service by walking around his garden.
"My children said I can walk at least as well as Tom Moore, and on top of that I am 103 years old," he told Reuters.
