ProZ.com powwow: Walk in historical The HagueAugust 4, 2007, 2:00 pm NiederlandeThe HagueIn personEnglisch Hello colleagues, The reason I am organizing this Powwow at this time, even though a number of people will be on vacation, is to give Marion Lurf, the organizer of the succesful Eindhoven PW a few months ago, the change to meet up with colleagues again before she returns to Edinburgh. On the other hand, it will give ProZians vacationing in Holland a change to meet up. I am planning on gathering at 2 p.m. at the Lange Voorhout in front of the 'Kloosterkerk', which is a stone's throw of the Garuda Restaurant where we will meet at around 6 p.m. or at a time to be determined, for an Indonesian dinner. There is also an art exhibition going on at the Lange Voorhout, which should be interesting. If you arrive from The Hague CS, you can take any of the many trams of busses for only 2 or 3 tram stops; however, it is an easy and pleasant walk. If you are driving, it would be best to park in the Malieveld garage and find your way to our meeting place few hundred yards away. There are plenty of maps online, but by all means, ask and I will help you to find your way. My mobile phone number is 06 55 78 08 45 so if you were to arrive later, it is easy to meet up 'en route' as long as you have a map in hand. I am planning on making a map with marked stops available later. Assuming that we will have a nice day with lots of sunshine, the walk will consist of walking along the Lange Vijverberg to the Houses of Parliament, pausing frequently, offering a guided tour as it were, past, for instance, the statues of Dutch kings as well as the hapless Johan the Witt next to the 'Gevangenpoort'. We will then walk past the Royal Palace at the Noordeinde, ultimately leading us to the museam www.panorama-mesdag.nl/ in the Zeestraat; entry fee is 5 Euros. After that, we will meander back through the historic Denneweg, no doubt pausing for refreshments at a pub or at a 'terrasje', ending up again at the Lange Voorhout in time for our 'rijsttafel'. However, if it turns out to be rainy day, we can, shielded by the beautiful chestnuts, make our way to the Mauritshuis Museum and then later 'find refuge' in one of the many old pubs in the area. I am planning on making a reservation soon, so please let me know if you are coming or cancel in time if you cannot make it. There is an entire floor available for us. http://www.garoeda.nl/ Laterz, Marijke | Event Organizer:

Albert Stufkens | Seeing some icons that remind me of a most successful happening in Eindhoven, how can I not join? The itinerary in The Hague is interesting, and I surely know what to expect at the Garuda, a favourite joint for Parliamentarians. | |||
Henk Peelen | No holiday plans, so there's a change I meet the admission requirements. By the way, at garoeda, I would prefer the rijsttafel above the floor. | |||
