Day 5: Sunday 21st April 2013


No boat but we're partying in Voyagers so it's all good!

Approaching along Oudezijds Kolk



Grand






The Cup was presented yesterday and is already on show next to last year's.


Nevertheless, I get them to re-stage the presentation for a photo.


And then again


And again


And so on until they get bored


The menu has changed a little since I photographed it a couple of days ago.
We're on the menu!



HB tells me that these tiny little cars are considered to be invalid carriages and so can be driven and parked anywhere, by anyone.


With no cups left to present, the schedule for the day is empty so we split up into small groups and distribute ourselves across town.
J and I decide to go shopping.


A bit of shopping and then a quick diversion for refreshments in Kadinsky's Café.


A smoker's bar is cool place to skin up and wash it down with a beer.

In fact, there seems to be a bit of a smoker's bar bandwagon rolling at the moment. I spotted this one later but didn't go in.

Hot or Not on Warmoesstraat

It's our last night so time to load the Nes Volcano from all of the little baggies I've collected during the week.


Trad gets the big one!



The hand on the right is holding The Book. We all sign it (well, most of us anyway) and then someone (Nimrod I think) writes this list of everyone who's gathered.

While he's compiling the list, Bishy adds his signature onto the same page - so he's on twice!

It says:

Well that's it for another year.
As usual it's taken me months to finish the travelogue and it'll soon be time to start thinking about next year.
A massive thank you to everyone who joined us.
Next year the 20th is a Sunday and the preceding Friday and following Monday are both bank holidays here in the UK.
See you all there I hope!

Special thanks to Trad for the fine cups now proudly displayed in the wining shops.

YOU KNOW ITS ALWAYS A BLAST,.........

Absolutely!

I think everyone had fun. Well all but one of us anyway . I guess you can't please everyone.

See you next year.

Nice finish Lemming , we hope to be there to toke with everyone next year

@ ftcarer - Thanks. Glad you liked it. See you both next year.

Looks like an absolutely brilliant 6 days, really nice to see just how much of a community it is here =)

Hope to take part in the next 420 gatherings !

only 8 months till 4/20

Sorry Lemming, it wasn't me who created that list, but I do remember trying to assist with its compilation.

I want to say it was a female who made that list, possibly Sally. I could be wrong about that, considering what all was going around at the time.

Looks like you all had a wonderfull time SUPER COOL
Sorry I wasn't able to attend...missed everybody SO MUCH
Maby 2014 Here's Hopeing

@Padge247 - hope you can make it next year, be good to meet you.

@TwoCanucks - indeed

@Nimrod - never mind, maybe someone will take the credit for it.

@hestia - wonderful to hear from you. We missed you too. Trad did a great job of deputising. Hope you can make it next year.

Nice pics, great memories. The last night at t'Nes was a blast.

If finances permit and if there are any Coffee shops in the 'Dam next year

I tried to record the webcam wave - not sure if I managed to capture any ACD people. A bit late - just cleaning my hard drive and found the screen captures.

Nice one Talkrum! I think there may well be some of us on there. I can't seem to make the video play though. I can only scroll through it my dragging the bar.
