We moved back to Cocos Outback Steakhouse (need to check name later), where we have Alex once more, deciding which delicacy to go for… (kangaroo burger was one of the touristy delicacies on offer in the menu. More importantly, they allowed schmoking with your meal, though if they were busy, they preferred you to use the side room. Fair enough.)
Not related to the aforementioned grub, here is that establishment’s toilet taste proudly on display.

Next we have me in Barneys (Alex if you’re reading this, can you remember which of the Barneys establishments this was? I still can’t find my notebook from that trip) and then Chris reminding me that I was supposed to pixel out his face for online versions of photos.
Alex bought some items from this stall, on the way to grabbing some food, and I think she managed to barter the price down a little on condition we told our friends about her. OK, so its a little late to meet our end of the bargain, but here is her stock and her card
I’ll include a map showing locations of the coffeeshop and stall when I can remember/be prompted where the hell they were. Oh, and some of these photos may well be taken by Alex. Can’t remember which are which, sorry.

This is the last of the Amsterdam Trip 2007 photos featuring the flat. Why so many? Because somehow I forgot to take a lot of the city itself and the various coffeeshops we went into. The 2008 trip with Irina was a little more successful in terms of encompassing more of a feel for the city through the medium of photography.
The next three are the view out the window onto the street and river below.

More of the flat in Amsterdam…
Here we had just started to unpack the essentials…
The 1st flight of three or four steep stairs leading to exit to the flat
The last flight, leading up into the living room. (Seriously, if you have a bad back or dislike navigating precarious situations when drunk or severely relaxed, I’d not recommend taking this flat, as it occupies the top two floors of the building.
The kitchen

Hope you are having a brilliant day, and that your (soon to be expanding) family are all fine and treating you well.
We look forward to your return over here, and even more so to meeting everyone else who eventually comes along.

The same day (26th June) Anna experimented with non-conformist sleeping, Dana, Asen and their son Alan popped over, as they were visiting Kazakhstan before returning to Israel. By the time I remembered to grab the camera, Alan was already having a nap, so you’ll “just” have to make do with Dana and Anna in this shot.
