Ready for the Assen GP!

Amsterdam was great we visited Rembrandts house and that was (surprisingly) very very interesting, we did a canal cruise, lots of walking, tram and train trips, a river cruise and of course the Red Light District. The age of everything never ceases to amaze me and how they cater to so many people, so efficiently.  It doesn't get dark here until  11pm and the sun is up again at 5.30am.  Steve and Mike flew into Amsterdam from Barcelona so we met them at the airport and then picked up the hire car and drove to Westerbork which is where we are now, about 20 minutes from the Assen track.  The trip from Amsterdam to here took about two hours so we caught up on all the things they had been up to.  The country side here is such a contrast to Amsterdam - green, quiet, quaint.  We had an amazing three course meal (thanks Mum!) and some wine and now the boys are having a beer at the bar while I write this.  We have decent internet!  Tomorrow morning we will have breakfast here and then head off to the track.  The weather has been good and tomorrow it is supposed to be 27C!
