Sandokan Posted February 14, 2019 Share #48 Posted February 14, 2019 I am sorry but I will have to drop out of this meeting. Long story. My trip to Malaysia and India are delayed from starting this week to starting on 6 March and I will fly home at the weekend of this meeting. I will be too tired to join you. Viel Spass, good luck and May The Light Be With You (MTLBWY)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberti Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share #49 Posted February 14, 2019 Hi Sandokan, Have a nice trip. Do post a delightful picture from the other end of the globe. 🤔 The one with most light will be Jaap who will be taking snow pictures (Jaap - be sure to post one).

farnz Posted February 18, 2019 Share #50 Posted February 18, 2019 Hi, Albert, March 30th is the end of the financial year at work so everything goes crazy as projects try desperately to complete works before funding runs out. I've tried my best to avoid being drawn into the frenzy but unfortunately I have unwillingly been sucked into it and must now with great regret withdraw from the Rotterdam meet up. I hope it all goes very smoothly, everyone has a wonderful time and the weather is kind to you. It's such a shame because I was really looking forward to the meet up. Pete.

Well, I think that the real reason is that Pete is afraid he can't return in time 😱 and I said it without the B-word either 😅 anyway, happy working. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted February 18, 2019 Share #53 Posted February 18, 2019 If I couldn't get back in time before the B word then I'd have to stay and become a Netherlander and I would really like that! 😃 I was hoping to spend a day or two in Delft too so I'll have to leave that for another time.

larsv Posted February 18, 2019 Share #54 Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Hi Pete, sorry to hear. Btw, what is the position of a Kiwi upon B occuring? Edited February 18, 2019 by larsv Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted February 18, 2019 Share #55 Posted February 18, 2019 He reverts to using his British passport and puts his Kiwi passport back in the drawer for the time being, Lars. 😇 Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanetomlane Posted February 28, 2019 Share #56 Posted February 28, 2019 Just wanted to forewarn you that there is some doubt as to whether Eileen and I will be able to make the meeting. Problem is that my elderly Aunt has just been taken into hospital and things don't look too good. Depending on how she progresses over the next couple of weeks will determine if we are able to travel. Can you let me know when you need final figures for the meal so that I can make a decision. Be sorry to miss it as we've enjoyed the last couple of meetings in Holland. Best regards, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberti Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share #57 Posted March 1, 2019 Sorry to hear this, Tom. May our thoughts be with you. No worry as to the dinner, I will ask in about ten days. They can accomodate well. It is a restaurant favoured by the Rotterdam inner crowd and the Kralingen 'harbour barons' as they are called here in town 😋 albert 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberti Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share #58 Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Great.

LarsV leicaboss maarten michiel_fokkema MyValko Paulus Pperff Stephan54 willemr xiaoheli I have the reservation for the restaurant now for 15 persons. There is some room to accomodate for them, but I would like to know who is staying for dinner by Friday 15th so I can inform De Pijp. Also I will take this as number for the boat ride.

Alberti Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share #59 Posted March 5, 2019 I walked the tour again today. Last week I met with Michiel Fokkema who has organised a guided tour for us through the Photography Museum on the 23rd from 2:00 to 3:00. The tour will be in English and it will take an hour. The current exhibition bij Alfredo Jaar/ Koen Wessing is interesting. Wessing has a statement in the hall. "It is important that pictures are timeless." [Hard to translate because to me it is also jargon from the academy.] After this exhibition the tour will be changed a little bit - have tea elsewhere (the NHow coffeeshop in De Rotterdamcan't easily cater for a group they told me today) and across the bridge we will walk through the Museum Park, as a nice route to go to the restaurant and arrive such to be able to order around 18:00. I switched the restaurant because restaurants only have à la carte below 20 persons, making it fairly expensive, something I do not want to be blamed for 😅. Important: We like to commence at 10:00 at Blaak with the coffee etc in order to be in time at lunch in Hotel New York. So slightly earlier. I will lay out the route again and insert some marked meeting moments where we should be or wait for each other. albert Welcome, dear visitor!

Alberti Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share #60 Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Overview Architecture is a key for a visit of the city. We will walk through areas that have been developed the last twenty years and that have given the city its high ranking in city guides as a place to visit. 10:00 Meet and greet in Martcafé in the Markthal next to the Blaak Metro station. This is in the right corner of the Markthal. 10:45 Look at the Markthal from the inside and outside.
