Amsterdam Part One

4 Comments

Everything  went according to plan as we met-up with Bert and Camilla at the friendly “Amsterdam Hotel” just a stone’s through from Dam Square and a short walk from the main central train station. This hotel is just across the street from the park where Bert and I bought our old VW van in 1972. In that van we traveled all over Europe together with me at the wheel and Bert expertly navigating an impossible road network long before the days of GPS. Here in Amsterdam we forged many great memories and now 42 years later we get the opportunity to share some of them with Margot and Camilla while adding even more to that collection. Thank you Bert and Camilla for flying all the way from Edmonton to make this reunion happen.
