This year, like every year, it was FedCon time again. It was the first time I decided to take a doll with me. It was not easy to decide which one to chose. But then I decided to take the Samantha Cristoforetti astronaut doll – because I knew people from esa would be there, too.

We went a day earlier because Thursday was a bank holiday in Germany (Ascension), so we could check in and get all the things ready for the big weekend.

We went to Vapiano and had lunch. I think Samantha enjoyed it.

Then we went for a walk about Bonn…

… until it was time to check in…..

… bring our things into the room…

…. check out the surroundings….

… and end the day with a drink in the bar.

On Friday Samantha put on her space suit to show that she knows a lot about space and impress the people from esa.

We enjoyed different panels….

… and had lunch outside, in front of the hotel. There was quite a choice of street food.

On Saturday Samantha wanted to dress up. She decided to wear a Star Wars outfit because there were lots of photo points to take pictures and many other peopke were also dressed up.

Time passed very quickly. There were so many things to do and see, that we didn’t even manage everything. Then it was already Sunday … the last day. Samantha enjoyed the last panels …

and the Closing Ceremony.

By, bye FedCon – we’ll be back next year.
