Sauna and swimming pool look inviting enough (end of the day before dinner, I think) - but yes, this hotel has a network I can connect to as well. (For 10 hours at least.) Definitely a first for me - although it helps that I've brought my laptop along with me as well.

'Retreat' going well - bit of an adventure getting here via public transport but managed to arrive on time. I've been introduced to the idea of World Cafe conversations and far from my fears of what on earth I could contribute in such an atmosphere (I thought) of rarified research and centers of excellence, I find that it's both useful and informative, but that there are also things I can bring to the discussions.

Just had a session on blogs and wikis which was remarkable mostly for the range of skills (from none at all to pretty much experts) and yet still proved to be useful.
