2008 commences…

New Year’s Day is a pretty quiet occasion in Amstelveen, with no shops open anywhere. We went into Amsterdam to see the sights in the daytime, get some food, and see if we could pick up another NZ secondee, Andrew, who was arriving on the train from France.

I ate a chocolate and nut covered waffle…



And Milli ate a giant hotdog…



We did actually manage to make our way to the train station, where the “Help” desk told us that Andrew’s train didn’t exist. We waited around a while, but didn’t manage to find him.

But we did see bikes. Many, many bikes. So we pretended these ones were ours.



There was a Burger King in the train station, and this was the first time we saw THIS sign…



Which of course we found hilarious. I guess it’s the Dutch version of our ‘Whoppertunities’ posters.
