The church tower from nearby
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.
Waiting for the beers and the cola to arrive at Café Engels. On the picture are from the left to the right: Stefanie (TinyTuck), Martin (martin_nl), Aukje (aukjejetty), Pieter Jan (pieter_jan_v), Arno (aspierings) and Daniëlle (irisbe).
After all people arrived we went walking through Rotterdam. Anke-Thea (ATLC)showed us the way.

On the picture: Gerard (Broekie), Robin Linda (Robin_Linda), John, Pieter Jan (pieter_jan_v), Swanet, Daniëlle (irisbe) and Paula's (goingplaces) husband.
Smiling in front of the camera: Martijn, Arno (aspierings), Martin (martin_nl)and Gerard (Broekie).

On the bridge

Someone had the idea of taken a picture of all of us on a bridge. The bridge was strong enough to carry us all LOL ;o)

On the picture (taken by Carin -catnl- with my camera)are: me (sandravdp), Robin Linda (Robin_Linda), Martin (martin_nl), Anke-Thea (ATLC) and Martijn.
This picture is made by Daniëlle (irisbe). All on the bridge again :o)
This picture is made by Pieter Jan (pieter_jan_v). Yep again a bridge pic ;o)

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!
