Christmas in Amsterdam

This year we were the guests of our Dutch colleagues who laid on not only a splendid agenda of sightseeing, coffee and the occassional beer, but also a visit by Sintaklaas in the full Dutch tradition.

Sinterklaas appeared to be rather too well briefed about each of us but nevertheless presented us each with a chocolate letter as a gift and went on his way across the roof tops of Holland.

Thanks to Hans, Hans and Antoine for arranging fine weather in addition to the day's activities and to Alex for taking the photos of the day.
