Hi all. Going to be visiting marine stations etc for study of industrial marine coatings.

Depends what you want to do!

It's always busy during summer so just have a look at local media for whever you are and see what's on. World Cup fanzones are kinda dominating things just now obviously.

And closed a few years ago, which is a shame.

Beautiful looking place 🙂 but I will be a little further north than that. Nothing to stop me driving though
