Scott arrived late on Tuesday night (after the big Easter weekend). He had with him a crunchie bar! And some Reece's peanut butter cups.... mmmmmmm.....
We set him up a foldout bed in our lounge that we borrowed from one of the managers at work.
During the day he explored the city (he was here on secondment two years ago but they travelled so much he hadn't done the touristy stuff in Amsterdam!).
On Wednesday night all the NZ secondees, plus Scott plus Aussie Jen went to Cirque du Soleil - Varekai. It was AMAZING! The music was fantastic too, and I bought the soundtrack! I was terrified the whole performance that one (or more) of the performers was going to smack into one of the lighting towers while swinging around in mid-air, or that they'd fall off the strings or nets that they were holding onto. Kind of stressful to be doing all that worrying! But they were all very talented and amazing, no one fell or anything. The show was beautiful and the strength of these performers is just amazing. It has convinced me that I'll definitely be going to another Cirque du Soleil show, probably in Las Vegas.
On the Thursday night Kinga, Scott and I went to Boom Chicago - a comedy club run by Americans in the centre of Amsterdam. It was so funny! Some of the stuff they said was so true, they mentioned a number of things that had happened to me since I've been in the Netherlands. The same club has a late night show, which we're planning on going to for my birthday in a few weeks time.
Friday morning Scott jetted off to New York City - just a fleeting visit from him. He's off to the Cayman Islands to work for a bank. Bye!!
