Nice photos Jocke. I love Amsterdam.

I see you visited a Panakooken place. Was this near the Leidseplein area? This little shop was immortalized in a song by the Beastie Boys. Great pancakes...

I think the best watch in the whole thing was the photo of your yacht master. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

Very nice, Jocke.

I felt the two guards' breath upon my neck, your pictures and discriptions were so detailed.

Now that you're refreshed, back to work friend!
