Catch Up Photos 420 (April 2008) - (IMG heavy)
Posted: Sun 8th Feb 2009 11:48 pm
So, a little more information can be recalled on this one, as it is a little fresher in my mind.
See this post for why it is a little late, why there isn't much text for the photos, and why I'll not be around for a while again.
Once again, I've checked Lemming was fine with his mug up in public, I've blurred anyone else who looked like they might want it.
Amsterdam 19-24.09.07
First thing to go wrong was the day our Amsterdam experience was due to begin. Having been in contact with Paul with regards to picking up keys for his Apartment (I'll find the link later), we had managed to arrange the flights from Kazakhstan to Amsterdam so that we would arrive a few hours before my Birthday began (4/20) and start off with a relaxing few hours. Unfortunately, the airlines intervened and so we ended up stuck in Germany overnight. Frankfurt I think. After running around the airport trying to catch anything heading to 'dam on the 19th, I phoned up XYZABC to let him know we'd be late arriving. Like a real trooper, he calmed me down, arranged to meet us at the airport Sunday morning 8am~ish and drop off a little birthday pack of goodies, so I could head straight to the apartment with my wife, without having to convince her to stop at a coffeeshop on the way.
This was indicative of the events to occur - me or a 3rd party mucking things up royally, only for a kind person to put me back on track again. This trip restored my faith in humanity. Cheap joke about the channels forum removed
.
Anyway, enough text for now, photos are to come in a moment. If I didn't type this out and prepare to put photos here, it would probably be another year or so before I got round to it...
PHOTOS TO COME
