Arrived in Zagreb

I flew in this afternoon to Zagreb airport, and it appears I missed the good weather of a week or so ago to instead arrive during the middle of a particularly foggy patch. I'm staying in the Hotel Antunovic just outside the main part of the city, and this is also where the seminar is being held, so I don't have to worry about taxis or getting to the venue in the morning.

I arrived at the hotel around 4.30pm, and for the first time, I had a bit of a welcoming committee, with the local Oracle Education manager and the hotel events organiser waiting for me after checkout. I don't normally get someone meeting me at the hotel, and so I was a bit under-dressed in just jeans and a jumper, but I got a chance to look at the event venue and chat through the specifics of the Croatian market.

I'm just working through adding a bit of content around BI and SOA into the seminar slides, and also just finishing off the first chapter of the book I've got planned. I can't say what it is yet, but the contracts have all been signed and sent off and hopefully, in a couple of weeks' time, I'll be able to announce what it's all about. Until then, it's off to the revolving restaurant on the eighth floor and then hopefully an early night.
