    Hi all,

    Today my youngest son had an anniversary party in Amsterdam, so I had to take him and had an hour or two to spare.

    After dropping him off, I went to the city and took this distant picture of the recently re-opened Rijksmuseum. The renovations took ten years!

    we finally had some Spring weather so the tulips are blooming:

    I visited the Nespresso Boutique in the PC Hoofstraat and filled up the stock of capsules, bought a few new Espresso cups and some fine pure Nespresso chocolates too!

    I wanted to have a look at the recently opened Abercrombie and Fitch store on the Leidsestraat but there was a queue of about 20 feet so I passed!

    It was almost time to pick up my boy, but I still had a few minutes to spare so I took these shots at the Bosbaan, a well known rowing track in the 'Amsterdamse Bos':

    When I got home and saw the beautiful sunlight (again) I couldn't resist to take this picture:

    The Spitfire UTC nicely matches the elegant Citiz hand-blown double-walled glass and the taste of the special edition Napoli (intensity 11 on a scale of 1 to 10!) is really something.

    I hope you had a great Sunday too.

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    Thanks for sharing those moments, Clemens. Your UTC looks great!

    It's good to know about that Napoli edition, can't wait to try it.

    Cheers!

    Thanks Jeronimo. I tried the Trieste too but I prefer the Napoli. If you like strong taste this one will be a favorite for sure!

    Kind regards,

    Great pic Clemens!

    Hard to judge the size of the UTC in that photo - which makes it all the more brilliant.

    Thanks for the sharing and I would love to see more of the yellow tulip on your 2nd picture.

    Not forgetting your beautiful UTC.

    Great pics, Clemens!
    Your Spitfire UTC goes well with the brown strap and the Nespresso.
    Thanks for sharing. :)

    Kind regards

    Clemens - my wife will be very glad to know that you replenished your stock of Nespresso. :) Thanks for sharing your photos of one of my favorite places.

    PS - It appears that you dress much nicer for taking your son to a party than I do when faced with the same task.

    LOL David. Nice to see you noticed my outfit. This way, I had a good excuse not to participate in the football game at the party :-)

    Kind regards,
