Uptime International Summer Days took place on North Estonian beach resort Valkla during last weekend. Co-workers of Uptime from Tallinn, Tartu and Oslo offices met each other and played different team games. Even small robot building contest took place on Friday evening.

Uptime Summer Days brought together co-workers from different countries, who usually meet each other face to face not very often because of Internet communication. Summer Days is always good place to see them directly.
Finally, warm summer days arrived in Estonia. Valkla beach was warm and dry, everyone had a chance to do kiiking (sporty swinging), blast water bottle rockets to the sky and of cource visit Estonian sauna and swim in a warm sea.
