Holland (3 weeks ago)

I came back from a two week work excursion from Holland about a week before the bombs went off. Trip was good, weather was great, and it was a fantastic learning opportunity. I went to a little known part of Holland called Venray, chilled out with our local staff in a couple nearby towns. I've been to Amsterdam before, so sampling an "authentic" Dutch lifestyle was more appealing than visiting the more obvious attractions at good ol' Amsterdam.

Staff at our client's were quite nice too, despite the fact that we, the UK team, couldn't speak (nor read) Dutch. They were all well versed in English so work got done.
