peer agreement (net): +1are the icing on the cake of their rest and recuperation programme Explanation: ... is what it's trying to say. "das letzte i-Tüpfelchen" is the cherry on the pie, and "Blaumachen" in the sense of, well, chilling out and taking it easy. But there are deinitely other options - esp. for Blaumachen. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2007-07-26 20:34:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Bizarre - Stephen also suggests "icing on the cake"! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 26 mins (2007-07-26 20:46:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- @ Courtney: It's the overall message/picture that matters, i.e. getting potential visitors interested.
