Oh wait, I think I know who it is. Wolfgang is obviously secretly an NBA fan. The guest must be Dirk Nowitzki.

The hint that he might be comming from OPO was the misleading hint. Acutally he is arriving from Cologne.

back in town
The flight back was even worse than the flight to the UK, but after calling the pilot a pussy for not taking off with proper deicing we finally made it to Cologne.
Outstanding evening, perfectly organised, with the warm british hospitality.
Thank you Tom, for providing all the ports and having us at this extremely cosy location with outstanding steaks.
Thank you Wolfgang, for organising everything around.
Thank you Dirk, for being with us and enjoying the ports, which was not too hard, I suppose. WOTN was the Niepoort 42.
and last not least, thank you Cookie, for the excellent pick up service. I think Barack Obama gets about the same service, when he visits the UK.
Perfect evening, outstanding company and superb ports. Anytime again
