anette is sent off to groningen to attend a conference and after a full day at work she barely makes the last city airport flight to amsterdam only to learn that klm has lost her suitcase...
which somewhat wrecks the trip to the university groningen a bit (try talking friendly to your colleagues with hair washed in dishwashing soap borrowed from the hotel kitchen)...
but the symposium at het kasteel is incredibly well organized and very interesting and the rest of the city is equally pretty, even in two days old clothes...
...and anyway it's off to amsterdam already the next day where - wow - the suitcase has been found thanks to deac's unparalleled insistence and nagging qualities.
we stay in a pretty little b&b right in the middle of jordaan and get to explore this part of town over three days quite thoroughly...
and we come to the conclusion that 20 years after dreaming of living here this place is as magical as ever.
and that all those dutch are incredibly lucky...
and that time really does stand still in some places...(ckeck the picasa pics on the right for more)
