Disappointment was inevitable when Hokkaido trip was cancelled due to numerous insignificant reasons. The determination to use the summer holidays in a productive and fun way became the much debated agenda. Ideas started popping from all corners; temporary plans were suggested, agreed only to be disagreed couple of minutes later. Hiking, beach-ing (don't know if such a word exists), excursions, all possible options were explored. But, alas! Nothing even remotely close to a materialized plan came out of it.
