Amsterdam/Copenhagen - May 2016

Sun right in my eye at the Little Mermaid

Two days in Amsterdam for meetings and two days in Copenhagen for RIPE. Pretty rainy weather in Amsterdam but really nice sunshine for 18 hours a day in Copenhagen. A fantastic city when the weather is nice. Good meetings both internally and with our partners, and got to present to the AMS office at lunch. A nice new tradition that I hope they keep up for others :) 

Again good seafood at Mossel and Gin in Amsterdam, and nice food in Copenhagen at falernum with drinks at Ruby but the highlight was far and away lunch at Noma. Fantastic food, very attentive service without being over the top or fussy, and the best overall dining experience I can imagine.

Mixed shellfish at Mossel & Gin


Uneventful travel on United through LHR to BA on the way over and LH to FRA on the way back, with a KLM short hop AMS-CPH. Immigration inbound at AMS is fantastically quick, maybe a 30 second wait at passport control and picked up an Uber at the Sheraton across the street from arrivals. Would have taken the train and walked to the W but it was pouring rain. Again reminded how weak the food is at the KLM lounges in AMS, so you are pretty much there for a drink and wifi.



Did not take a ton of photos, but got almost every course at Noma :)
