For the Dutchies and Palace lovers

Just added a meeting for tomorrow at Apeldoorn to support Imaniac's Holland exploration trip. It's just the two of us now, but we welcome more support.

There isn't THAT much going on. I just felt like visiting the city. We'll rendez-vu at 11:30 at the train station. Than we're having lunch.

The main reason for the visit is Royal Palace the Loo. The palace is now in use as a museum. You get to see how the royal family lived in the golden age. And it has a marvellous garden as well.

On our way over there we'll do some sightseeing of the city center.

After Apeldoorn we might go to Hilversum. This is the media center of Holland, with all the radio stations, TV stations and of course the studios.

Who knows we might even get a tour of a real radio station.

Do come, do come. I'd love for you to be there. I'm sure they have Swirls in Apeldoorn.

Ill think about coming to Apeldoorn. Not sure about Hilversum tho because it sounds a bit far and I have spent a fortune on petrol already this year :(

It's only a little cold tomorrow, but I will put on an extra fleeze sweater. Imaniac will arrive at 11.35 AM with the train and I hope my wife droppes me off before that time. If you 2 ladies decides to come, just mail your mobile phone nrs. to Roy and me and we return ours to you. Just in case.

PS: No big eating plans. I carry some sandwiches and a "patatje" (in Hilversum) will do at the end of the day.
Btw there is a nice restaurant in the former stables of the palace.

PJ - I've got Sandras nr already :P

But Sabs just always tells me there is no space on her phone for another entry. Ow, she's sooo poular. LOLOL

As for the bars, I wouldn't mind heading for a pub myself. As long as that doesn't mean no palace. And besides the palace does have a roof.

So we could do palace & bars - what do you say?

btw - it'll take me 2:40.
