Weekendje tappen in Nederland

Friday : 25 Aug '06 - 08:33 | damen default No comments yet |

Zometeen spring ik op de trein naar Nederland om vanavond op het huwelijk van Tessa, het zusje van Steven, te tappen. Ongeveer twee of drie weken geleden belde hij op of ik ook zin had om te komen, alle oude borrelleden (Coen, Dann, leus, Wout, ..) zouden ook komen en het zou wel een leuk feestje kunnen worden.

Daar kon ik natuurlijk geen nee op zeggen, en aangezien ik ook nog eens een Sommer-Spar-Ticket bij de Deutsche Bahn kon krijgen was het ook qua geld goed te doen. Dus ik heb me nu met genoeg mp3, films en boekjes voorbereid en spring straks op het treintje. Het plan is ongeveer vijf uur in Enschede aan te komen.

Grappig is nog volgende text in het mailtje dat Steven ons allemaal gestuurd heeft:
Om de boel er netjes uit te laten zien is het leuk om een borreloverhemd en sloof aan te hebben (Erik, deze neem ik voor je mee) en niet te dronken te zijn voor 0100 uur

Finally diving again

Tuesday : 22 Aug '06 - 08:42 | damen default No comments yet |

Last sunday I finally found time again to go out for some recreational diving. So that meant no courses, no examination, no discover scuba diving and all that crap where you have to concentrate on the others around you. We went to the Steinbergersee and the weather was not that bad, even if the forecast made me shiver already.

The first dive was with Uwe and Thomas, the latter one hadn't been diving for two years, but after a couple of minutes he was up and running... ehm... swimming through the water and we made a totally relaxed dive (which can be seen here). It was quite clear where the thermocline was, because unter 8 meter it was f*** cold! But above a nice 20 degrees, so we enjoyed some small fish over there.

Then the second dive, which was with Thomas and Waltraud, we went right towards the ghosforrest, which ist a collection of trees at 10 meter depth which realy look gostly. Like I mentioned before, the water temperature dropped clearly beneath the 8 meter and at 15 meter it was only 10 degrees... brrrrrrr

Again, you can find the dive profile and other details on the divelog. All together it was good to get in the water again

Great diner

On our birthday last year in November Manu and I got a coupon for a nice diner in one of Nürnbergs finest restaurants, called Schindler's Hof. And that was really good... good food, very good service and all together a great evening out.

Waarom krijg ik, als ik zulke dingen zie, de neiging heel snel weer terug te gaan naar Nederland?

The funny thing is, the bar is named after this ship:

Training

Thursday : 03 Aug '06 - 13:00 | damen default No comments yet |

At the moment I have a training on the subject of Requirements Engineering, which is actually quite an interesting topic, but somehow is this tool-training kind of boring...

Any ideas to spend the time?

Bardentreffen

Last weekend there was a big festival in Nuremberg called Bardentreffen, where lots of different groups perform on different stages all over the city. Because we were both busy with diving, swimming and relaxing we only went on Sunday evening, but that was really great.
We watched a band called "La Kinky Beat, who came from Spain and played a mix of reggea, ska, punk and pop... really good.
