Date not yet settled. I'll write an entry and post the details here when we've got a few names and a fixed date.

*is very tempted *hunts down a German Phrase book

I'll skip this one, I'm afraid.

Just for future reference: If we relocated to Hamburg, could you make it then Hati? I'd like to see you again.

Hamburg is better but I'm afraid September isn't much.
Though - my plans included taking my daughter to Berlin Zoo in October. Could we possibly build something on that? I'd extremely like to see you again, too. And all the rest of German researchers, of course.

October in Hamburg - you must be kidding
Hamburg would be ok with me, I know where I could spend the night then.

What's wrong with October in Hamburg?

The weather Although it's more or less unimportant, as it's nasty weather in hamburg most of the year anyway

Ah! Can't be worse than here.

Where are you then, in Denmark ? Denmark/North sea in August IS awful

Worse. I am more north, in Estonia.

Never heard about the weather there - it's not really a country with lots of tourists I think

Right now we have quite a lot of them. The tourist season is short here. And Estonia is still a relatively cheap destination.

Where do most of the tourists come from ?

Finland, Sweden (very close) and Germany (that's where they always come from ).

Thought the Germans were all in Mallorca now

Mallorca is too small for all of Germans.

denmark in august isn't *always* that bad, you know. we actually experience some of our best summer weather in august - after the kids have started school again

there are places that a way worth weather wise

like the faeroe islands for example

their weather is just like germany in april - only it's that way every day of the year - and usually much much colder!

seriously though, hamburg in september *might* be possible. at this stage you can only count me in as a "definite maybe" though

I wasn't talking about the whole of Denmark - just the western coast. Every holiday we spent there in August was drowned in rains and storms, but July was ok. Never made it farther north than Graerup, though

I wish I know my timetable for September. I have 3 trips scheduled already, all w*rkwise. And it actually doesn't happen too often, that I can travel by w*rk at all.
