"Their Social Media show is worth going to. More improv than stand-up comedians. Reasonably priced food, though the kitchen closed in the second half of the performance."

"Totally revamped great value hotel. Parking underneath is a godsend in Amsterdam. Good convention space, walking distance from Amstel station."

"worth a visit if you're in the area"

"Interesting mix of decor from various colonies - British India and Dutch East Indies. Like their Capaccio. I think it was disocvered by a lot of media people in Hilversum when Joffers closed."

"This is Huizen harbour on the Gooi lake. Great for walking and cycling or just messing about with boats. The town has done a lot to upgrade the harbour recently - and organise events like a Jazz fest"

"Just behind the old harbour. Excellent fish and reasonable prices. Worth picking out from the rest in the same street. Last there in July during the excellent LIFT-FING conference."
