Was a great trip, really enjoyed it!! I didnt get home till just after 6am though, had to stop for an hours kip on the way home as my eyes seemed to have stopped working due to lack of sleep.. feel better now after 8 hours in bed.
I just bought a Jayapura GTP a glass viv and some other bits, couldnt believe the size and busyness of the place.. will definitely go again. I got quite a few pictures from the show, some of the animals (mostly royal morphs) and I took some video for the YouTube channel... I got told of by someone there though for filming so had to stop. Will post it all later. BTW nice to meet some of you there, I guess there was a lot I didnt meet... I mostly lay low  Thanks to the organisers.

Had a great time, got most of what I wanted and some things I didn't plan on
 Great time on the coach, everythin went perfect, hold temps were spot on there and back, so I don't need to bother next time having OCD and recording everything, comfy chairs, nice amount of legroom and seats that slid out for some extra room. Had a great time at the show apart from the sheer ignorance of a lot of people, always surprises me even though I should know better by now  All my stuff is settled in and healthy, not unhappy with a single thing and tried a couple I bought that looked like they needed a feed and all took so no complaints there. All in all a great trip, well organised and a good laugh there and back.

All in all it was a good experince for me. Disappointed with some aspects of the show, but because that's what I was expecting from starters, I didn't get frustrated.
In regards to the journey, I think the coaches were superb, but I hate being stuck in a vehicle for that long so no matter how good they were I'd feel uncomfortable and bored. I think Tony and Steve did a great job as well as everyone involved with the trip. Because I'm a bit impatient, there are certainly things I'd have planned differently myself, but I suppose we have to adapt to situations when we are travelling with so many different people who do things in different and less organised way.

In terms of the show itself, things that I'd like improved would be:
1) surely they should organise the tables in a better way in a way that most geckos would be close, most corn snakes would be in the same area, most boids would be in the same area, etc. It's upsetting when you want to see something but you can't get near because between you and the table there are 100 people walking by who don't want to see that, but are walking about looking for what they want 2) Even being in Germany, I thought there should be signs in English, the staff should be able to communicate well in English, etc. A great amount of people who go there are not germans, so they should preocupy themselves about being able to serve people from other nationalities, and like it or not, everyone who are not german, would like to see maps, signs, etc in English 3) I was a bit disappointed with the paperwork provided for the snakes. Surely breeders should be more organised and professional. You're buying a hypo jeff gee line or a sharp albino, you expect that to be shown on the paperwork, not just boa constrictor Many didn't know the date of birth and other basic info about snakes that were bread by them. I had paperwork written in polish and german, what a bloody jokeBut again, it's not because one is organised, honest and professional that you should expect that most other people will be

nice to meet you dexter - I was the one talking to you on the tunnel with will!
The rheda show seems to be organised a bit better but until we go there then we wont know. The problem with grouping animals together i.e. geckos here and corns there would be difficult as people sell several species of animal and so it would be impossible to do. would be nice though

We are always interested in hearing suggestions on how things can be improved.
Its true that 140 people will not have the same ideas, and some may get frustrated. It went a bit wrong with the M20 closed and the M1 delays, but we have already spoken to the coaches about leaving even more time, but its sure some poeple will then complain about early starts, long waits at ashford etc. The ticket pre booking went supurb ! We have already got some changes in mind, some additional ideas that will be used and many other ideas we are looking at. It was great to see that our honesty with Animal health, and everyones support and co operating with the paperwork side of things resulted in no customs problems, well done to every one for that !
