Computer Scientists visiting Birmingham

May 1999

Yves J, Rafael VD., Bart V. and I (Dieter D.) went visiting our friend Luk D. and his girlfriend Hillary J. at their home in Birmingham.

After an early start April 29th 03:00am, we took the Shuttle and drove to London.

In London we walked around a bit and visited Regents Park after which we bought an "Eternity" puzzle at Hamley's since Veerle T. had asked us to do so.

Following was an hour and a half of heavy traffic, leaving London, going to Birmingham.

After amazing ourselves at the largeness of the English Service Stations, we had a little snack and continued to Birmingham, where we arrived just in time to see Luk arrive at home.

We visited a watermill that's taken care of by the Tolkien-foundation. The miller there inspired J.R.R. for a character in his most famous book "Lord of the Ring".

We drove (4 hours of heavy traffic) to Stratford upon Avon. Going there, we encountered a beautifull golf court, where unfortunately they weren't prepared for _our_ handicap.

A visit to Warwick Castle is no must, but could greatly be advised.
