Vondelpark meet up!! Our picture was in the newspaper, with tb advertisement
A few weeks ago Rob told us about the vondelpark meet up organized for Sue. They call it pot luck!! Never ever heard of it. We used to call it an American party. But it seems to be the same. What can we bring to have something different. Mandy made a choice, empanadas and a pasta salad. Than Jos, he is not much of a cook he thinks. So we dicided he could bring melon! This was a good choice after all.
On sunday the 5th of july Jos came to our house so we could travel together. We were lucky because my husband was willing to bring us to the vondelpark. So we arrived there at about 12.10. Mandy and Jos had to go to a certain place. Therefore i was sitting on a stone in the park and waiting. A man was passing by (one of the many) i thought this could be a travbuddy, so i asked him. And YES i was right! It was Rob. He was the organizer. He was just pointing out where i should go if mandy and jos where back. But at the same time they were coming back. He took us to a place just after the bridge, which was an excellent place for a picnic! Stones where we could put all our food, and there was a lot of it!
Rob had 3 bbq's with him and a lot of nice spiced meat. Way tooo much! But great. In the meantime a lot of people joined the bbq. But the person for who the meet up was organized was walking in the park and not able to find us. She really must have been walking there for an hour. Then Keiko was putting on her Sherlock Holmes hat and started to search for Sue. And she succeeded!
The whole afternoon we spent on talking eating and playing. Untill the rain came to visit us. No you could not call it rain, it was pouring!!! But we were lucky the bridge was very close and most of all the food was already eaten. In the meantime we were standing under the bridge (about 10 meters from the place where we had our picnic) and we were spectators of a strange show. Our food was carefully taken by the homeless people!!! First the Beer and wine where gone, than the other eatable leftovers!!! At last one of them took a big pie! But it must be very wet. I am curious if he liked it! (wally has a nice picture from the "thief"!!)
The afternoon was over in no time, we enjoyed it all very much. Hopefully we can do this next year again!!! Thank you Rob!
Tip: If you are looking for a sanitary stop, go to the film museum. Another tip. Do not buy a bottle of water in that bar downstairs. It is very expensive. 3 euro for a small bottle.
