Preparations
Only a week to go before we leave for Abu Dhabi to spend a couple of weeks with Mark, Wendy, Silke and Felix. Hopefully will also bump into Julian whilst there.

Day 9 - Amsterdam

We ate the included breakfast at our strange little hotel this morning...it was interesting, with jams, lots of bread, cheese, and yogurt.
