Thank you Thomas for the tip. Since the race in The Hague, I doubt that we could take a walk 60km to the north to visit the Amsterdam book fair.

Frank, we haven't booked a common hotel.
Since I have guests already, I cannot offer you a spare bed at my place, sorry.

Erik, the thanks belongs to PeterN, Nicole and Suse, I am just the publisher :)

For those looking for lodging and/or transport: there is no possibility to arrange a deal with a hotel with the limited number of people we have. So using your favorite booking site or app might be the best approach.
If you want to stay in Amsterdam: the train brings you in 45-55min from Amsterdam Central Station to the Hague Central Station.
If you want to chat about hotels in the Hague, send me a message or emai. I am happy to reflect on options.

There's 15 of us thus far and the time is nearing. Please let us know if you are joining for restaurant reservation purposes.

Count me in for restaurant bookings.

See you there.

I will come by car, have free seats from Bonn to The Hague, will be at the Restaurants & stay the night before and the night after in The Hague. Either I will explore the place on my own or I will be pleased to have people join me. Thank you, Peter, for help finding a Hotel in the middle of the action.

We are getting closer and closer to the 30th.

We've made some maps for your convenience to use during your stay.

If you shoot me a PM with your email address, I will send you a pdf file in color.

Also a last call to those who would like to participate in their own city: if you are interested, please say so. We will then publish the themes as soon as they are known.

For those mentioned in the list last published by Nicole: when it is not possible for you to attend, please let us know as well.

Finally I will not be able to make it  :-\  :'(

   I was looking forward to meet you all in person and share the experience but it will have to wait until the next time.

Wonderful, Paco. I am still searching for a hotel & people who like to share the place to experience The Hague at night, street shooting until early in the morning!

Drop me a PN to coordinate
