Due to the limitation on the number of photos that can be posted per day, the
job of compiling the shots and doing a narrative is not so easy. This is just
a short review of our activity on Friday evening in Amsterdam after our return
from Arcen.
It took a couple of hours to drive from the Brewery and Ice Cream Parlor back
to Amsterdam. It was a Friday and traffic at times was a challenge, but we
made it. We went directly to the evening's venue at the top of the A'DAM
Tower across from the Central Train Station. We had cocktails and dinner atop
the building. You have a commanding view of the city. A couple of guys took
the challenge and rode on the swing ride that protrudes from the edge of the
tippy top of the Tower.
Upon arrival at the Central Train Station, you take a ferry boat over to the
A'DAM tower.
It was a challenge to go on into the Tower given the view at the entrance.
If you look closely at the Tower, you can see the swing set on the top right
of structure.
The Tower at night is impressive as well.
As I said, the city view is spectacular.
There is a glass covered hole in the floor of the bar area where you look
directly down to street level. The first step is a bitch.
Once we arrived, we were all surprised to find Nad in attendance. We didn't
know he was going to join us for the weekend.
A few of the others getting set for dinner.
After catching up over cocktails and dinner those of us in the same hotel,
retired for some post dinner conversation and I understand some Single Malt
consumption.
More later on our Saturday lunch in Vondel Park, our walk over to the IWC
Boutique, and the very popular Canal Boat ride. Lastly, in another post, the
biggest event is the Saturday evening dinner at Yamazato Restaurant. It is
the highlight of the weekend and not to be missed event for those coming in
the future.
Sorry about the delay in posting, but the picture limitation is getting in the
way of a prompt post.
