So we got our flight from San Francisco to Amsterdam, and got the connecting flight to Portugal separately. This way we could stay a couple of days in Amsterdam and meet with all our friends from around Europe. A special thanks to Ester (and her parents) who arranged for lodging and breakfast for a few of us - we couldn't have done it without you!
First stop: Supplies!
... for a barbecue in Ester's lovely balcony with a beautiful view of the lake.
Later that day, Greg and Sara joined us and we stayed up talking and drinking anything we could get our hands on until 5:00, or was it 20:00? Who knows? I certainly didn't...
The following day we eventually managed to wake up, had a delicious breakfast courtesy of Ester, and headed to Amsterdam to meet the rest of the gang.
From left to right: You can see a little bit of Nat hiding behind me and Greg, then Isobel, Nicky, Ester, Sara, Mauro, (Gwen + 1 had left the table), Wouter in the cool jacket, and Greg who in a few hours would be freezing. You can't see him, but Vasco is behind the camera.
Then we headed off downtown, where we saw nice ladies who looked like they were probably feeling a bit hot but were standing in front of windows that didn't open! The Brits standing in front of them looked like they were enjoying their conundrum, or were planning to in a bit...
And since we were in Amsterdam, we couldn't miss our chance to have a drink in a typical Irish Pub!
We ate dinner at an African restaurant and had a deliciously exotic meal and cocktails!
Amsterdam by night was beautiful, we had a wonderful time...
...thanks guys for meeting us there! The hardest part was saying goodbye.
