Preposterous hotel policy, but happy new year!

Henrik's plans outlined below were indeed spoiled when we found out that participants staying at Jury's were not even allowed to enter the Clarion Hotel.

This is probably not the OrgComms fault, but for a 4-star-hotel that claims to have an international standard, this policy to us just does not seem acceptable. We were actually told that we could go in, but only to stay on a sofa right next to the hotel entrance, to be "supervised". With all do respect, but we are not three-year-olds. And yes, people tend to behave strangely on New Year`s (you should have seen the odd crowds on the street last night), but this is not a proper way to "solve" the issue.

Not to be distracted about those issues: Happy new year to everyone! We'll keep you posted on the break progression, but today is the usual day off, with many people going off to excursions around southern Ireland, others going to Council, and people like me hanging out lazily in the hotel room and about to go to the pool area.

The battle of the hotels continues, however:

On NYE night, the Jury's Cork had their bar open for much longer, and BYO was strictly tolerated afterwards, which is how I somehow ended up with a glass of vodka in my hands, kindly sponsored by "the Russians".

Internet access was down the following day, though, and the spa area was closed! (Unconfirmed rumors speak of a hung over lifeguard.) That did adversely impact lifestlye ... I had to go shopping instead ;)
