28 hours in Amsterdam

Coming off last week in UK and US, this week also was solid travel. From the first train ride and airport customs check, I had 7 UK and intra-European flights in 6 days.

Amsterdam had fine weather this week. After a brief welcome drizzle stepping out of Schiphol airport, it cleared up and became respectable summer weather.

We stayed at the trendy Roemer Hotel, where everything is included, and had our 1 1/2 days of meetings at the Vinoly Building (above) in the up and coming World Trade Center business park.

We dined at 15, Jamie Oliver's successful mini-chain of restaurants employing disadvantaged youths, started in London and now open in Amsterdam www.fifteen.net
