We got together at Café Engels, a nice old café with a terrace at Station Square (Stationsplein). Most people got there in time at 11.00 am, but ofcourse I was one of the people that was running a bit late. Luckily there was waited for people to come until 12.00.

On the way to Rotterdam I was sitting in the train and at Leiden to guys came and sat next to me. They were talking about meeting someone and I was wondering for a while if they were on the way to the VT-meeting too. I didn't dare asking, cause maybe they were meeting someone else and they would say "Wat the heck is VT?"

Later at the café I saw them again (martin_nl and his friend Martijn). I was right after all, they were going to the VT-meeting. I thought at that time that it was very silly that I didn't ask in the train if they were going to the VT-meeting :o)

On the picture: Daniëlle (irisbe), Paula (goingplaces), Ruben (RubenE), Anke-Thea (ATLC), Gerard (Broekie), Robin Linda (Robin_Linda), Swanet and John.

Theatre Square (Schouwburgplein)

After a short walk we arrived at Theatre Square (Schouwburgplein). All kinds of terraces with different national foods were here. Yummy! I tried the Vietnamese shrimp sandwhiches in sweet sauce. Very tasty!
