....Especially as Mrs Demoncase is already packing and has a plan of museum visits outlined of near military precision- indeed, so detailed that it would shame Julius Caesar. :D
Care to forward a battle plan? My better half is also heavy into Van Gogh and bitterballen planning :D
The one museum thing I'd want to see here right now would be this: http://www.stedelijk.nl/en/exhibitions/ ... ra-in-love
(haven't seen it yet myself, was at the stedelijk museum about a week before it opened but will go back soon. love his work)

Apart from that, don't walk onto the bicyclepaths, my knee,leg and elbow are still healing from the stupid tourists that knocked me off my bike last saturday. ;)
@Larry_Mott: The current plan is to hit the http://www.hermitage.nl/en/ first then there was further detail that I might have tuned out- I haven't questioned my commanding officer and don't intend to :D

@Joris Mo: Duly noted on all the advice- and I worked in Hengelo for a while, so I know that large steel pushbikes have right of way no matter who or what you are. :)

The day before is almost as exciting as the day itself. Sometimes the 13th is just another lucky number.

We're getting ready to go back to the city for some sightseeing. Weather could be better but at least it's stopped raining

It's gonna be a two hour drive instead of the regular 15-20 minutes since I'm at a holiday park right now, but I can't wait to get in the car!

Quick stop at a "coffee shop" in the morning before the meet will take care of that hangover ;)

Looking forward to hear some feedback from those who attend the meet! Enjoy everyone!

I'm actually skipping one of the best parties of the year tonight to not be hung over tomorrow.
Then again that party is also good enough to get home in time for a shower, breakfast and some proper coffee and get on your bike to the Mercure..
Now for some decent sleep.

Have fun everyone. Your American friends are jealous! Can't wait for the thread. I feel like the past couple years the thread starts about a week post event. I'm eagerly waiting that day!
