Great to hear you’re healing well, and have managed this trip. Wonderful writing, and look forward to hearing more of your insights from walking the Netherlands.
Welcome in my hometown and country. But the part of Amsterdam I’m looking out on, is in reality called ‘Bijlmermeer’ (or just ’Bijlmer’, or among its muticultural youth: ‘The Bims’). Good luck on the rest of your trip!
It was fascinating - especially as I was able to talk to Geert Mak and others yesterday about it. They said it had about a decade where it was absolutely awful, but after the metro reached it things started to improve. I remember back in 1992 when I heard about the El Al 1862 crash I thought it was extraordinary that they didn't know how many people lived in those appartments! Today it was very peaceful and sunny, and a million miles away from those days. Thanks Maurice.

Thank you Clare. Good to hear from you. Best wishes from a cheap hotel in Amsterdam!
