Enjoying this trip me thinks....
Ah, another day of conferencing. We had come to the conclusion that no one was going to turn up at the convention centre before morning teabreak so we decided that we would turn up at around 10am to get there just before it started.

Nachts bei Vollmond auf einem spiegelglatten See in einer unfassbaren Landschaft in eine Höhle paddeln und hunderte Glühwürmer an den Wänden sehen.

Das ganze bei Sonnenuntergang ...
