After such a rocky start to the trip, boy was I happy to check into the Mövenpick in Amsterdam. We arrived a bit before check in time, but after waiting for a while, we finally took up residence in our room. We even got the view I wanted. Here’s quick a time lapse video of it:

It's a pity I moved to Cambridge and not live at home anymore, otherwise I could personally hunt you for the ADA pics you promised to send me ;-) Enjoy Amsterdam Duncan!!
Cheers,
