This log is especially for Marco. Marco it was a pleasure to work with you the last few years. With company 1 I left for another challenge and with company 2 you leave for another position. In honour of that we had a lovely diner after a small tour through the hotel at The College Hotel in Amsterdam. Thanks for a lovely and great diner (I hope you enjoyed the choises of wine ) and we'll definitely will meet in the near future. The small gift from our side was a small token of our appreciation of the last years and we hope you'll remember us when playing your favorite sport.



The College Hotel in Amsterdam. Set in a spectacular 19th century school building, this hotel is actually run by students under the supervision of professionals. The hotel has only 40 rooms and suites, each distinctively designed with its own individual identity and luxurious modern facilities. The restaurant pays tribute to the Golden Age of dutch cuisine by honouring classics from the past from a contemporaty perspective. They say about themselves : Affordable chic with a Dutch twist.



Well the building (a former school building) is spectacular. Such a beauty, so nicely restored. An enourmous luxury that appeals almost evrybody. Ladies in evening gowns, the Golden Age also reflects in it's customers. Very high level of detail in which student can (and some need ) learn the business of Horeca in a perfect place. If you want to impress gentlemen, this is the place you bring your date .... Marco thanks again. (I know you "hate" these words ...)



We started with champagne. Deutz ... and quite frankly a lovely champagne, like champagne ought to taste. No hard bubbles, but actually a lovely wine of great taste. Good opening.
