ohh yes, thank you dear Fraulein Cecile, I had a great time there! I saw my friends and we ate a...I don't know the name, it's an Indonesian-style sandwich with chicken, pineapple, tomato, salad...very yummy!
I ate Indonesian-style food also at Schiphol: there is a "food corner" with Burger King, Chicago Pizza, Hot Wok and another theme. Of course I chose "Hot Wok" and I had a delicious fish soup with coconut milk and chili!
The tulips are still here, they drink a lot of water (I must add 1 small glass of water every day). They are still in great conditions! Great conditions, thinking about their travel...
I left them locked at Amsterdam station next to my luggage for maybe 3 hours. I went to Schiphol and sometimes I gave them some water, but they weren't in a vase.
In the airplane I was lucky enough that the seat next to me was free, so I put them on a proper seat, like they deserved.
As soon as I arrived home (late evening) I put them into a large glass of water with their "food". They survived for 12 hours without water...but they're still with me!
I'll have to return to the Netherlands. I loved Alkmaar, I loved its "bells carillon concert" that I found by pure chance! I love Amsterdam too, though it was too crowded. I immediately searched for a quieter area, for a garden. I hope to return there with more days available!
