We went all over the place. Contact the orgaisers f te VII symposium at: http://www.actahort.org/books/430/ Ask for the man who arranged the 4 day presymposium trip. His name was John something. I think his surname began with G. You can mention me, he will remember (Dr Darren Sage, HRI, UK). If you contact him, please pass his e-mail too me. Good luck!
