Kees,
 
Just had to comment here that I found your "warm Holland" to be a
wonderful place.  My late wife I spent a wonderful week in Amsterdam in
the summer of 1964, and we had some of the best experiences there of
our entire European trip (our first).  I still remember the wonderful
food and the pastries "met slagroom" (lots of whipped cream for you
non-Dutch speakers!).  The people were wonderful; and the only negative
I remember was the experience of almost being wiped out by the
bicyclists "sneaking up" on one in Dam Square :-).
 
Enjoy your visit!
 
Best,
 
Bob
