Hmmmz, maybe it's easier if you just write the English names on EBT.
Although I strongly prefer the local names.

I also prefer the local names, but then I think the database probably knows only the English names and it moght not find coordinates for "Roma"

I'm just going to stay here in Finland. I'll visit Germany next fall, so I'm just waiting for it the whole summer ;)

It's the same, I think... But don't forget the postal code, so we can track it on the map if you get a hit! ;-)

This year, it's hard...
Probably I won't have vacations, maybe just a few days at the beach. Portugal is great for vacation, the EBT members should came here this summer.

Yes your right, that option was for all the spacetravelers and aliens among us...!


By the way not so long ago i heard i item on dutch radio that is getting much cheaper within a few years to travel to outerspace.

Still it would cost more tan 250.000 euros... :roll: :roll:

250.000 euro. that's still a lot :cry:. But it would be worth it I think. Ah, well to get so much money I'd have to save for many years. So not this summer :wink:. I've been to Slovakia last summer, that was very nice. And also very affordable :). This year I don't know yet. Should start to make plans. Am considering to go to Spain or indeed Portugal, but wouldn't want to get into all that mass tourism. (in big city it's OK, but not the beach tourism). Maybe I'll go to Hungary or Rumania, there I won't have to evade mass tourism :wink:.

We are going to South Afrika for two weeks :D :D :D

It's a fully organized trip focused on children (my daughter is 6 & my son is 4). They are really looking forward to the safari's.

The only drawback: in July it's WINTER in South Afrika :evil:

nice !

Is Winter really a problem in South Africa ?
I went to Thailand during it's winter... but I think Thailand is closer tot he equator than South Africa.

Oh, can you speak Dutch there?
I read some websites in Afrikaans, and I could understand it almost perfectly !
But maybe there are some problems while speaking ?
