A great first Powwow for me, Amersfoort is a very interesting city. Even in the rain! Now excuse me while I go and frame my certificate as gate hamster :-)

Thank you Percy, it was a very nice powwow. Of course, the rain prevented us to see Amersfoort at its best, but that was compensated by the nice crowd attending...

I agree with Anne (conference coordinator) that the happening was well organized. The tour on foot was an eye-opener for me historically and when approaching restaurant \"Hemels\" I found that the name and looks of it would indeed promise something Hemels (heavenly). All was true except for the main course: this was not in line with the restaurant\'s image and pricing. But the contacts, atmosphere and conversations were otherwise \'hemels\'. It was a pleasure to have taken part of this powwow. In fact, I should have extended the experience by also attending the conference.

Er gloeiend bij zijn is linke soep en om niet te snel in de hemel te zijn, zag ik me genoodzaakt restaurant hemels te vergeten en gloeiend thuis te blijven. Tot een andere keer.

It was great to see familiar as well as new faces among you.
The hike was nice despite the rain. Broccoli soup was served instead of the ordered crab soup. What about receipts? Thanks for the good business tips from you all. And have fun at the conference!

People enjoyed the visit of Prince Alexander in Mexico; his speech ended with a Spanish proverb that may have been a translation error or an intentional bad word. It was well taken, though, with lots of laughter... I will tell you about it at the conference!

Post title: Time planning

Thanks for the info, Percy. Is my understanding correct that 3 PM has been finally decided upon (moreless)? In that case we will just leave our suitcase at the station. We want to walk around Cologne in the morning, so we will leave Cologne at 10:48 and arrive to Amersfoort at 13:34. I don't think it would make much sense to try and get to the hotel and back to the centre within an hour and a half; just to check in. We will rather have some coffee in the centre and walk around before meeting all of you at 3 PM.

Hi Maksym,

I still need to discuss the details about the guided tour, I will update the page as soon as I know more.

The centre of Amersfoort is not very big though, so it shouldn't be more than 10 minutes from the station. You can leave your luggage in a locker at the station or go to the hotel first to check in (the hotel is about 10 minutes by bus from the station, but there are only 2 buses per hour, so leave enough time to travel there and back again).

Where will the guided tour begin, and how far that place is from Amersfoort Centraal railway station? We are going to come from Cologne by train (after flying from Kyiv to Colobne/Bonn). I would like to book our train tickets in advance, so it would be nice to know those details.
