HOLIDAYS

Rob & Bob are on vacation right now... Further news will be released from 9th July on...

Vacations are great...

Rob sends greetings to Bob!

And Rob&Bob to all readers...

Bedankt!

Amsterdam, our little nice fellow, we have to leave you. Now the 9 weeks of internship are over and well... we will miss Amsterdam. But we are looking forward to JVM Hamburg!!! Working under Olli Voss and Götz Ulmer will be awesome. But back to Amsterdam...

Dutch people are really nice. We savoured the city with its beauty and charme. There are only some things that we didn't do on our list, like renting a boat... but nevertheless, the capital of legalization impressed us. And also the affinity of dutch people to be lazy in preparing salads and fruit pieces on their own. You buy everything in packages here, pre-cut. Like you can buy pre-built Johnny's for those addicted ones who can't roll a joint after having smoked 3 already. Clever idea! If advertising fails for us, we will open a bike "petrol" station here in Amsterdam. We will miss the Hotel Belga, where we had the best sandwiches. We will miss Albert Heijn. We will of course miss Wok to Walk. Mmmmmhhhh. And our chilling evenings on a bench at the Gracht. I get melancholie now... I'll go for a beer. Bye bye Amsterdam. We are waving with our handkerchiefs...

P.S.: Next posts coming after holidays. Straight from awesome hilarious, gorgeous Hamburg.

This'n'That

Finally we stopped buying Kinder Surprise, because Ferrero Netherlands can't manage the development of new figures. Our consumption exceeds Ferrero's figure range, so that we have every figure now at least twice, if not in some cases 5 times.

We were evidences of a special happening in nature. Since some weeks there's a spider claiming a small hut as hers in our backyard. It's the hut where the barbecue is in. This spider is enormously big. We even skip having our awesome barbecue ceremonies. And that is a good decision since the following occurrence: Fatty, the fat cat, was lying on the roof of that hut savouring the sun. Once in a while he was waving with its down-hanging paws through the air. Suddenly the mean spider rushed out of her hut, making some hectic but tactical moves and attacked Fat Cat. Twice. We were shocked as Fatty was. We keep a security distance of 2 meters to the hut from now on.

Messages in bottles are old-fashioned, but still a way of communication. And it's a nice one. So, after having had a bbq at the Gracht and emptying a bottle of white wine, we used the same as one of the oldest mediums and wrote a letter including our email addresses. The strong current of the water in the Keizersgracht let the bottle float about 3 meters until it was trapped between boats at the shore. Water in the Grachts flows extremely slow. A snail would even overtake a floating something. So, the second try went better as we threw the bottle as far as possible from the shore. Beginning its journey at Keizersgracht 253, we expect it to be in one week at least at Keizersgracht 261.

We are in pitch again.
