Parrot park outing and other happenings
Last weekend tabbiefox and me went to henriekegs place in order to spend an awesome weekend there. We met up in Brno and were flying directly to Eindhoven from there (flight costs were only 50€ per person, with luggage for a return ticket!). Soon after we arrived on Friday, we went to the shapeways factory for a tour where Henriekeg registered us. Shapeways is that company that 3D-prints pretty much anything you send them in every material imaginable! It was pretty interesting
The printing room in the Shapeways factory, those giant things are all 3D printers.
On saturday we all went to Eindhoven during daytime and looked around at stores and the city in general, we ended up eating in a nice irish pub and got to see a chinese parade. In the evening tabbiefox, me and Henriekes brother went back to Eindhoven to see the city at night, we went to a speciality beer store and I got to try incredibly good coconut beer, the taste was mindblowing!
On sunday we got up early, sadly the weather forecast was right and it rained, unlike the two days before. With good hopesI packed my suit and we went to the park which is located only 10 minutes from Henriekes house. At the park we met up with pegla, Rin, kenai, Storm and troetel_koala.

The park was celebrating its 25th anniversary and therefore on this day, lots of events were planned, mostly for kids. Since the park runs mostly on donations and they asked us to come, of course we couldn't say no. Sadly, due to the rain, there was almost nobody there. Eventually we went suiting inside the tropical house which is very nicely themes and contains lots of exotic birds. We didn't encounter many kids (maybe 15-20), but at least they seemed to be very entertained.

All in all I felt very sorry for everyone who put work into this, without the rain I'm sure the park would've been packed with people having a good time! If they make an event again I'll sure try to attend!
After the event we went to a nice pancake restaurant with Henriekes family, henriekeg, pegla, kenai and tabbiefox. Had a little artjam, tasty pancakes and fun in the children playground area.
It was a great weekend and I loved seeing people I don't meet that often!
