Long time no blogging

Hours are short these days. 4 weeks left to the end of my PhD project and I haven't started writing the thesis yet. Other writing is good though... may the force and motivation stay with me!!!

Our Ozzie adventure, part 1: The ISPRS Congress 2012, Melbourne

After 37h trip Australia welcomed us with beautiful sunshine and a good atmosphere. A shower made the trick and we were fresh and almost full of energy for sightseeing... At least until the afternoon ;)

Anyway, we took a walking tour around the city and visited the State parliament. For some reason Melbourne seemed to us a bit like a city in the USA, just with narrower streets and better food ;)

Me and drTBBE attended (different) pre-conference workshops. Good stuff, though organization should be improved.

The conference started with a welcome reception that was made more attractive with a possibility to see and touch some of the native animals. There was a koala to cuddle, a python,a crocodile and some kind of a rat(?)... Nice, even if I am not a fan of these kind of entertainments. The animals looked relatively relaxed....

Attending the congress was good. The first such large conference for us (~1300 people) and to be honest I think I prefer smaller meetings. Several good presentations, some good talks and discussions with the exhibitors and networking. It was also good to catch up with some "Good old" friends from our universities or previous conferences :)

Several photos from the evenings in Melbourne:

Leaving to Melbourne in 24h

And here we go: in 24 hours we will be leaving to Australia!
The last days were pretty stressful (e.g. I thought I lost my passport, that we luckily found back in one of the suitcases) and full of work. The first attempts co close our luggage were very promising so most probably we have forgotten something ;-)
Anyway, first we will attend some pre-conference workshops, then the ISPRS Congress itself and on the 30th of August I need to present about 5 months of work in 20 minutes. And on the 1st of  September we will officially start our 2 weeks holidays!!!! Yeeeey!!!
Almost 3 weeks without staring at the computer/laptop screen!!! Yeeey, yyeeey yeeey!!!!
