By daylight the university building looks great too
So does the church
Finally we found a good spot for our posters
Don't you think? I do!
Predrag's lecture
The beautiful city of Ptuj
And the weather is nice too.
Building in Ptuj
Hi Ko!
I don't think you can open it while standing on it...
Nope, the tower is still taller than me :-)
It's nice cold in this alley, let's stay here
On the mount of Ptuj
Visiting the castle of some sort

At midnight Henk-Jan had his birthday

Happy Birthday to you!
Let's go celebrate

Cavalry in front of the church
Three girls in a row, how rare in physics ;-)
We had to wait for it for over an hour...
...but it was worth it.
Come on, let's go to the waterfall
The weather is perfect for a hike
But the cool forrest isn't bad either.
Wow, this waterfall looks really nice.
Time for a picnic
Most of the Dutch guys went to the caves of Postojna
It is the most important attraction in Slovenia
And it surely is impressive
We were hiking inside the caves for 90 minutes
Besides the nice caves
We also met these blind creatures called Proteus
Peter tries to catch them in a picture
Outside we met Tina 2 for the second time
Here she is together with our guide: Tina 4
This castle is literally build inside this rocky mountain
Now that's recycling!
Some weapon
This area is really nice
A cute little collection of flowers
Me in front of the caste.
Hi, it's me, Peter...
That's ussssss
Look at that view, it's magnificent
A very nice picture taken on our hike near the castle
Here you can see a strange attractor in practice
Dinner with Tina 2
Let's exchange e-mail addresses

The Holland-Italy combination
Allessandro is really leaning forward, isn't it? ;-)
The view during a nice hike near Rogla
Magnificent
Sunset at a lake
OK, Rogla is to the left now...let's go
What's this parade about?
Fun in the forrest :-)
We're still on the right track...
...but on the top there was no sign to Rogla...
And we walked the wrong way. You remember this sign?
We are here and the car is there. Mmm, so we have to walk till 21h30
Takuma wearing his Barca jersey
Drinking a beer at KGB-bar after a bad pizza
That's a nice collection of umbrellas
Hey, where are these guys going?

What an expression while playing
And the interaction with this guy was so much fun to watch
This concert was really worth it!

Can you play what's on the Slovenian note for us, please?
Catching up with each other
A nice view on the wineyards from the Mestni park
Nice fountain in the park
And another one
After watering the plants you can take great pictures

Did you solve the riddle of the red/green oil, Peter?
Four brothers gave a concert at hotel Piramida
Are you serious???
Ah no, I thought so...
...neither am I! :-)
Are you having fun?
The view over Maribor on top of hill Piramida
Why are all the wineyards organized vertically and not horizontally?
Shigeru is getting some sleep, isn't it?
All the Twente-students hiking to the waterfalls of Sumik
The Sumik waterfall
Raymond is always living a dangerous life...
Henk-Jan and the Sumik waterfall
Yes, that's me!
A last view on the nice cascade.
At the last dinner we could drink some green and brown beer
Green beer, it indeed looks weird!
At the end of the two weeks of conference we had to thank Marko
The conference went so smoothly and well-organized
Here I present him a small token of appreciation on behalf of all participants
And it was this group-picture we gave him
But we also have to give him this very fine Slovenian gift: some excellent wine!
Am I the only one who can keep his eyes open?
The end of the conference in Maribor, too bad but hey...it was fun!!!
of 190
...but it was worth it.
