Wedding
September 5th, 2010 , 13:51
Took it easy on Friday, slept and read and not much else. Saturday up just in time for breakfast at the hotel. Then off shopping. Got a couple of new tops and a new shirt for Joe. Actually sort of liked Amsterdam shopping! And I hate shopping! Go into a shop and there isn’t loud blasting music so you could actually hear yourself think. Staff were very helpful and very nice (and no music so you could actually hear them). If you said you were looking they’d say ‘great let me know if you need anything’ and then would leave you along. Unless you needed something then they were right there and very helpful. And did I mention there was no music playing so you could hear? So it was rather painless to get two tops and a top for Joe.
Then lunch in a tex mex place – tex mex in Amsterdam. It was good.
And off to the hotel to get ready for the wedding. It was held at De Hortus so we got there early enough to walk around the gardens and greenhouse (but not the butterfly house). The ceremony was short, the food was good, the company was very nice, and the party went on to the early hours but we wimped out around midnight!
So up quite late today, but by the time we got downstairs the brunch was in full swing and we just joined in. Then a walk to Amsterdam Zuid station to check train times and get tickets for tomorrow, tram into Central, and a walk up to Debalie where I’m on line.
Have to leave tomorrow.
