Annual Winter Holiday 2010


One of our staff perks at Charonite is to have a summer and winter event organised for everyone, apart from social activities that are organised intermittently (such as football, baseball, paintball, going out for drinks, etc.). We believe that having team building events in fun locations keep the whole team focused, happy and productive while showing our appreciation towards our hard working staff (as it cannot be all work and no play!).



This year we decided to go to Rome for our winter holiday (previous locations included Pisa, Florence, Venice and Madrid) in our neigbouring country of Italy. The eternal city provided a good backdrop for our team building activities including a carefully planned treasure hunt across the city done by four separate teams.




Tasks included finding an orange Fiat car, a red Vespa scooter, convincing a Carabiniere to pose for a photo (a very difficult task!), taking the usual photos with Roman gladiators, throwing coins into the Fontana di Trevi, attempt to capture all members of the team jumping in the air with the river showing in the background, taking the funniest photo, and so on... As you can imagine it was good fun!



Obviously no trip to Rome would be complete without a visit to well known spots such as the Colosseum, the Vatican, etc. and more modern attractions such as the panoramic lift on top of the truly monumental monument to Vittorio Emanuele III.
