Amsterdam: "Grachten", Rijsttafel, Rembrandt (November 2026)

In November 2026, Annette and I joined Cornelia, Chris, Via and Ernst for 2 nights in Amsterdam. While Annette arrived after lunch on Tuesday November 3, I joined them only shortly before midnight on that day because of my attendance at the Vinum WeinGuide Deutschland 2027 presentation in the Rheingau. The program was driven by the kids, of course.
