Title: Summer highlights 2013
Post by: Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister on May 05, 2013, 10:16:36 AM
The usual topic. I'll have a busy summer.

For me:

April 20-21 a weekend in the Bükk Mountains, sleeping in Felsötárkány, visiting Eger and going to a hiking trip between Felsötárkány and Répáshuta (Hungary) - with my girlfriend
May 19-27 a training course in the USA, necessary for my work, I'm flying with my boss, we'll be in California (San Francisco, Morgan Hill, Los Angeles)
June 1-8 Summer holiday with my girlfriend in Montenegro (Tivat), we'll also have a trip to Dubrovnik (Croatia) and Albania
June 22 Scooter concert @ Hegyalja Festival, Tokaj (Hungary) - with my girlfriend
around July 21 - a weekend at Lake Tisza, Abádszalók (Hungary), celebrating our 1 year anniversary with my girlfriend
2-3 hiking trips in the Bükk Mountains or in Slovakia (High Tatras, Slovak Paradise), maybe returning to Felsötárkány/Eger
small trips with bike to Lake Vekeri, Hármashegyalja and Zelemér (around Debrecen, Hungary) - with my girlfriend

Just one single highlight for me, but it is huge enough:

July 2 - August 28: HUNGARY, family, friends, mountain biking... I haven't been at home (or outside of China) during summertime since 2010...
and possibly a 2-weeks holiday to Transylvania within this time frame, where I haven't been since 1999.

Yes.  ;D I was a big Scooter fan in my teen years, and I still like them.

Ah, the usual topic. I'll have a busy summer, too. Busy because of my work. No real holiday, just like in the last two years.

Ah, that sounds rough. I hope you earn a lot of money working instead then.

As for me, I might go to Iceland with my girlfriend. Roskilde Festival is always relevant too. Nothing is sure yet.

Good for you, I'm usually fed up with hot weather. Luckily this year is not really warm so far.

Me too. That's one reason why I don't travel to Hungary this summer: it gives me a chance to avoid temperatures above 30°C. So, the planned summer highlights:

June 17-23: trip to Stockholm with my family (=wife and son)
June 24-July 9: my family is staying in Hungary --> for me, it's the time for some harder bike trips and hikes (0.5-1 day) around Stavanger
August 15: my son starts kindergarten (again) --> I hope he'll enjoy it, then it'll be possible to make some small day trips with my wife (so far we could visit only the "children-friendly" places)
~August: buying a car, also increasing the possibilities for travelling
September 2-5 (maybe): conference in Manchester
September 22-28: company meeting (not hard work, rather fun) in Lisboa, then a geology field trip in South Portugal
October: probably one or two weeks in Hungary (details are still not decided)
Title: Re: Summer highlights 2013
Post by: BonzaiJoe on May 31, 2013, 12:38:30 AM

June 10-14 (scheduled): recording a single, of the cat song I posted here earlier. You'll hear.

June 23-26: going to Sweden with my girlfriend, to her parents' cabin there, by some distant lake (but just the two of us)

June 30-July 7: MAYBE Roskilde Festival

~middle of July: hopefully taking 10 days to write new songs (and nothing else)

~early August: going hiking on Iceland with g/f.

We had quite a good summer holiday in Montenegro. We were in Tivat, but we also spent long and enjoyable, interesting hours in Kotor, Bar and Ulcinj. We visited Albania, spent many hours in Kruje and Durres - it was a really adventurous trip there. On our way to Montenegro, we stopped for 1-2 hours in Sarajevo and Mostar, both in Bosnia-Herzigovina. We also travelled for a half-day-trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia. In Durres (ALB), the trip to there meant the southernmost point visited by me in Europe, around 41 degrees 20'.

June 17-19: taking off the days from my last year's residue, will be used for administrative / medical cases (like ID renewal and skull MR)
July 1-5: the only summer holiday (~30% for travelling anywhere), date is not confirmed yet by the leader - but independently from the exact date, I guess we will have really bad weather...

Next week: Beijing.
90% work, but we'll go to see the Great Wall again at least :)

Also we had a great time last week on the Nanji island about 500km south of Shanghai:

OK my summer is starting to look great:

Today: Börzsöny mountains trip
Tomorrow: Velencei lake trip
(these are needed to regain my driving skills)

July 17-22 Transsylvania, Hargita mountains, Romania
July 23-26 Gyula bath, Hungary
July 27-28 2-day biking trip with friends, location unknown
July 29 - relax to regain energy lost during vacation :)

and I do not have to return to China until end of August so probably several other short trips in August :)

Yes, we have. However, I can't go on holidays because I'm responsible (how I hate this word) for some important projects - and I also "have to" do the work of a veeeeeery experienced and talented workmate (stupid, extremely lazy, malicious and intriguing pseudo-milf). Which sounds quite funny since I'm still considered and handled as a newbie - even after a year.
