Summer Discoveries
We have just came back from our family summer holidays. We have had a great time. I like going away but not because it’s a break from work. I like going away because I can continue doing exactly what I do at work - visit, explore and learn. It’s only better because I can do it with my family and mostly closer to nature than I normally get.
This year, from our travels across Europe to Poland, we have managed to bring back the following new discoveries:
- new route onto the continent, via a StenaLine ferry from Harwich to Holland, with a comfortable nigth at the sea
- little gem of a medieval town of Rinteln as we wanted a lunch break away from the motorway
- Kanban systems used in small seaside bars by the Baltic in Poland, one even with a visual board
- completely new taste of sweets (we tried ice-cream and a drink) of waldmeister (woodruff), thanks to Stefan
- pretty medieval town of Lübeck, where our favourite marzipan comes from, thanks to inspiration from Olaf
- interesting port city of Rotterdam that we will aim visit again thanks to Jurgen
- that good friendships stand the test of time and you can feel like you’ve met two weeks ago after 5 years!
- that you can travel with 3 children (aged 10 months, 10 months and 3 years) in one car for 8 hours without a DVD and survive
Now back to discovering software and more about people.
