Driving down to Augsburg seem to take forever. We didn't get started until quite late about 8 ish but the first hour and a half felt like we should of been there already. One of those really tedious dull monotonous stretches of roads.
I had spent all day packing the van up and sorting things out ready to go so when Stu got back at about 6;30pm we could have sinner then head off, but things always take longer than you think.
So eventually when we did get going we were both a little tired which didn't help.
By about midnight we called it a night and pulled over in an industrial estate which are pretty good places to stop literally just for the night. We only had 30mins left do not to far to go in the morning. After taking the dogs out and then getting into bed as soon as my head hit the pillow I was pretty much asleep until zooooom. A car went past so fast that the whole van rocked. Just as it was coming to a stand still drip drip drip pour down. I haven't heard that much rain for a while. Surprisingly enough actually quite nice to sleep to.
When we got up at about 7:30 the sun was out and although a little fresher still fine.
We arrived at the messe in good time and as we started to see people we knew the nicer it was to be there. Ben was kind enough to get is in. As we walked thorium the doors it was not what I expected at all. Just a few stands and and few shops. Definitely maiely for lectures and forums not really for me. It probably took about 30mins to go round all the stands picking up free stickers, pencils/ pens and note pads andtgrn spent the majority of my time having a laugh at the DMM stand. Listened to a few workshops but being in german could only get half of what was going on.
We went back to the hotel to have dinner with DMM and proceeded to drink my way through a fair amount of beer and baileys with a very nice meal , then all being just a little merry went to there room to shaved one of the guys hair on this head. We then got told off for being to noisy. Not sure how that happened.
In the morning we woke up to fine we had slept outside a polizi station so at least we were safe. I went to have a swim that made me feel alot better and then back to the conference we went.
More faces this time made it a bit more interesting but never the less still gad a laugh and always good to see everyone.
We got back to the yard at about 11:30 pm and got straight into bed.
