Amsterdam is a great place to meet people! A lot of people that visit the Netherlands go to Amsterdam. For me it is a wonderful oppertunity to see some of my friends there. I have met some of wonderful VT friends here.
Meeting a VT friend :
The best memory about my visits to Amsterdam was my meeting with Michael (VT-member Tocco). Thanks Michael for this fantastic day! I hope we get the chance to meet each other again!

We went to the pub/brewery Maximiliaan in Amsterdam. By this time the group has gotten a lot smaller : Inger and Marc didn't come with us after lunch. Carin hurt her foot badly while we were walking to the Waterlooplein, so Diederik and Chris took her to the hospital. Amy and Joanna had wandered of while we were on the market.
After the visit to the pub/brewery Maximiliaan we went back to the Irish Pub where we started our day. During the evening everyone found their way back to this pub.
Sandra (SandravdP) in the Irish Pub.
