After we had the real life meet up in Hannover this year due to the [[Arianne Project Meeting 2010|10th birthday of the Arianne project]] we decided to set up another meeting soon as possible, besides from development discussions and talks and just for spending a nice time together again.
Line 5 ⟶ 7:
It was difficult, but we made it! We found a holiday appartment in Hilchenbach, a nice and calm city, 14 km away from Siegen, 95 km from Cologne/Köln and 130 km from Frankfurt am Main, at the foot of the german "Rothaargebirge". Although the house itself was located in a nature surrounded area (sheeps behind the house, really rural) we found different activities we could make together and had a nice time.
The attendees were: ''Hendrik, Markus, Katie, Silvio, Marco, Vanessa, Simon and Frank as a special guest.''

==== Arrival====

[[User:blacklads|Vanessa]] set up an official arriving time with the house owners at 16.15 o'clock on the second september. As though as we all came from all over Germany and England, we didn't arrive at the same time. Simon was the first attendee who came to the house and waited with a fully packed car and some really nice signs on it,

▲[[User:blacklads|Vanessa]] set up an official arriving time with the house owners at 16.15 o'clock on the second september. As though as we all came from all over Germany and England, we didn't arrive at the same time. Simon was the first attendee who came to the house and waited with a fully packed car and some really nice signs on it, infront of the door of the house. Silvio and [[User:blacklads|Vanessa]] arrived together in a taxi as the second ones. Good, that the taxi-lady didn't know the way to the house at all :D Seems, like the area is pretty much unknown there, also for inhabitans, but we saw Simon and guided her to the right yellow huge house and were happy to be there then. Katie, Hendrik and Markus joined the "waiting three" a few minutes after that.
▲Then the waiting started... Although a time has been set up earlier, the house owners didn't show themselves to us before Markus took a look around the house and found a man working besides of it. And guess what, that was the guy we needed! He gave us the keys and explained a few things and let us in there.

Line 26 ⟶ 28:
After returning home from our shopping trip, we needed some minutes to bring everything into the house. It was late there and we all hungry, so Katie and [[User:blacklads|Vanessa]] started to plan the meal for the evening. We bought some roast pork and wanted to serve it with potatoes and vegetables out of the oven and started our plan. Unfortunetly we saw too late, that the furnace grate was too huge for oven :D Uh oh... So a plan B had to be set up. Katie got an idea then of what we can do and made a beautiful roast pork out of the oven, made in a cooking pot in there and it was reaaaally tasty! We also had carrots and brokkoli as well as potatoes. Yummi!
Meanwhile Simon set up his sound equipment he brought to have some background music for us.
We were really "full" after that and thought about some games we could play after the table had been cleaned. Therefore Katie prepared a pairs-game with Stendhal items with 36 cards. [[User:blacklads|Vanessa]] also prepared bingo-cards with Stendhal creatures before she arrived. We played both in the evening and it was really really funny! We had some nice conversations and laughed a lot and it was really sad that the evening went over so fast.▼

The day ended at around 1.30 and we went all tired but happy into our beds.

Unfortunelty we had to notice that the fish plans couldn't be made because the fish swam away out of the supermarket before we arrived there :D So we had to think about a new plan and decided to go with chicken, vegetables and potatoes. When we arrived at home, our last staying-guest, Marco, arrived.

Later we decided to go back in the house because it became a bit cold outside on the terrace. We showed some more games which we played over the last evenings to Frank and started two last rounds of Bingo and pairs. Simon brought a cloak with him and we started to play "Guess which quest I show to you" which was a mix of theater and pantomime and extremely funny. Unfortunately Frank had to leave for driving back home and we started to watch a DVD Katie brought with her after that. We were all a bit tired and enjoyed the movie while laying down on the couches in the living room. The DVD ended at about 1.15 and we went into bed.
