the latest news is...

that there is no new news, really!

weather forecast: chilly but mainly dry with some frost on saturday night (cold beer!) and maybe snow on sunday.

there will be a meal on friday night around 8 o'clock, so if you feel peckish: be there!

if you have any remaining questions, you know how to contact us.

see you on friday or saturday.

bye for now - sworp!

how to get there...

by car...
... it is easy: just get on the Amsterdam Ringroad (A10) and follow this (either direction) until on the Ring Noord (north) you get to exit S116 (Volendam). Take the exit and follow the signs to Volendam on the N247 until you find an exit to Broek in Waterland Noord. Take this exit (that is: turn left) and just keep going on. If you see a sign "Zeilkamp Waterland", follow that. If you get lost here, you win an award. The full distance is less than 1 km.




by public transport...

... is something completely different. First you have to get to the Central Station of Amsterdam. Once you are there, you have to get out. Now, they are still doing a lot of rebuilding in and around the station, so it is easy to get lost. You need to get out to the left to get a bus (that is to the right if you are facing the front of the station). But ... before you go outside, you may want to find a machine to buy yourself a strippenkaart for the bus. A 15-strippenkaart will set you back €6.90 and may be of use in the next days. Now you will have to find where the busses 110-118 are docking: If you arrive in nighttime you will have to find the stop for the nightliner 217 on your own; SWORP has no idea where that is. Next, pick a bus. Ask the driver if he stops at "Broek in Waterland Noord". If he says he does, get in, let the driver stamp your newly acquired strippenkaart (it will be 4 strippen), and ask the driver to warn you at the stop. If you do not have a strippenkaart, you will have to fork over €3.20 to get a small one just for the ride. Once it starts moving you will be there in less than 5 minutes, so thank the driver, get out, cross the street and think you are a car.

by plane...

... you probably arrive at Schiphol airport, and all you have to do is get a train to Central Station. There are about 4 an hour, so it should be no problem. Do not take a taxi unless you want to pay over the top.

whatever you do...
... write down the address on a piece of paper. This is always helpful for people who don't know where they are!
