Don't junk the junket III
Welcome to The Shadow in the Netherlands. Just got in today and am loving it muchly but am quite tired and have to be somewhere in a miunute.
The most surprising highlight was going past two games of cricket on the trani from Amsterdam to Rotterdam. The lowlight was the lack of sleep I has in the 24 hours in in the air and in transit.
Hopefully some pics will follow in the next few days.

I'll junk it - no time for a London stopover?
Schiphol is very close to the VRA ground where Australia played in 2004, but you wouldn't have seen that from the train.
No - these cuhmps were playing in a patk - some sort of local competition.
HEH TDIX GLAD TO SEE YOU ON THE "TRANI" IN HOLLAND-MY ,THEY ARE PROGRESSIVE/PERMISSIVE...
ON BEHALF OF THE PETANQUE CLUB WE WISH YOU WELL ON YOUR TRAVELS...KEEP US POSTED...
Touche Pedro...
But I did come across a rather conspicuous 'trani' in Amsterdam...
Watch out for those arminians
sold another painting---"white ghost dancing" to a collector--so you're not on your pat malone...gunna check out van gogh museum???
wazzup???
No time for Van Gogh or Rembrandt (Rijksmuseum) or even Anne Frank's house.
As for the Arminians, I came across a church (now a concert hall) in Rotterdam called the Arminius. Everything else there seems to named after Erasmus. They just love their dodgy theologians.
Am in Malta now and went to a really elaborate Festa in the town of Mqabba tonight. It was dedicated to 'Our Lady of the Lily' and the whole town got decked up in their best to watch a big Mary statue parade through the streets. As a tourist specatacle it was great, but really very disappointed.
I'm having trouble with the pictures and have no time to post really. Just gone midnight and I need to sort through over 200 photos from Malta before the conference tomorrow.
Would love to talk more to everyone when I get back and show some photos.
Cheers
Have u sent William a postcard?
Yes.

I think he's been playing volleyball with Maltesers.
What's cafe scoulis? Which bakery - the one in the Warren?
Haha, I was waiting for the puns to start. Surreptitiously, I shall dessert the topic, and wish you a safe and sound trip home Timmo.
Yay for correct grammar use of big words...
Viva la Live Earth!

I can tell you he had a safe trip as far as Heathrow, including a few bonus sightseeing circuits of London by air. The plane back was delayed, but he should be somewhere over Central Asia now, I guess!

How's about that dutch courage?

Maybe when he says 'Back in Aus' he means 'Back in Austria', or 'Back' like the Beatles were metaphorically 'Back in the USSR'.
You mean...that was a metaphor?
