1) Nice and the 3rd EMBO meeting

21.09. I flew from Berlin to Nice to attend the 3rd EMBO (european molecular biology organization) meeting. Eric - a couchsurfing friend of Ben - generously let me surf his place. Right the first day he took me to the birthday dinner of his friend. The next morning I checked in at the EMBO meeting and suddenly had most of the remaining day free. So I first explored the city on my own... up the castle hill (Le Chateau) to have a good morning view over the bays and the old city... then a walk along the promenade and through the old city before I read some book at the promenade enjoying the sun :D Early afternoon I met with Eric and his friend Silvie, who had two couchsurfers (Stephan and Fatme) with her :) Together we explored the old city again and enjoyed some nice food. At the evening I attended the first lectures of the meeting and afterwards Eric and I met at Silvie's place where her son made dinner. Simply a great day^^ The next day (23.09.) I attended the meeting all day and had a party afterwards... exhausting and great day, although I felt very sorry to wake Eric late at night :/ Monday (24.09.) was another long day at the meeting before we met at Silvie's place for dinner again. Stephan and Fatme made Tortillas/Burritos and the best Tiramisu I had so far :)

12) Novi Sad and Zagreb

31.08. we left Belgrade and visited the fort of Novi Sad on our way to Zagreb... driving on the motorway again definitely was boring compared to the multifaceted places to see from the country roads. Near Zagreb we stayed at a camping ground and enjoyed our last BBQ this trip :)
During the night heavy rain arrived... all our stuff was soaked wet in the morning... it took us quite a while to somehow get moving... it didn't stop raining, even as we arrived in Zagreb... after an hour McDonalds stop used for internet-connection the rain finally lessened and we started a walk through Zagreb. The city might be nice, but we definitely didn't catch the right weather to enjoy it by any means :( Hence, we got in the car and drove home already, although we planned to stay one more day in the beginning^^
Despite the last day - Trip was amazing :D

fuck that weather! let's go home... ^^
