For a few weeks now I'm back from my holiday at Bronkow (Germany). It was my first soaring holiday abroad, and I must say that it was a revealing experience.

The weather was unfortunately not that great, but despite that, I still managed to fly around quite a bit. And with the less good weather, we also visited Berlin and Dresden, went to a spa nearby, went to Tropical Islands, and some other things. Of course, flying was the main activity: I flew some good times, did my first outlanding (albeit on another airfield), did my first flying-in-the-rain, and flew with water ballast for the first time. Others in our group did some "first timers" as well. For the pictures, check out the album at our website.

FC Bronkow, our hosting club, was very hospitable, and did a great job in supporting us while flying, and the invite to their barbecue on our last night was a great closing of our stay. They also told us we would be very welcome to return next year, and we probably will take up on that offer.
