Haarlem
Thing went remarkably well including getting my choice of seats on my Martinair flight. Arrirved Amsterdam Schripol at 8 this morning, left my bike at Centraal Station and hurried over to Statsdoelen which was full, but I waited and after about an hour got a bed, thanks to the host recognizing me from previous visits. Tried street corner internet, but not sure of mail results yet. I was able to send and receive at a cybercafe, though.

Today it's off to Amstelveen to the HP office to see about wireless hookup, power adapter and or wire hookup.
After a tram and Metro ride, followed by a 20 minute walk, arrived at HP Netherlands headquarters and after a couple of false leads, was able to speak to a gentleman who supplied me with a RJ-11 adapter for Holland. Now I must find a power supply adapter at the Bijenkorpf. The Bijenkorpf just began selling HP, so no accessories here. Looked along the Utrechtstraat for computer stores, but none have accessories, so it's put off until tomorrow. Walked with friend Valarie to Cybercafe to send email, but couldn't receive there.
On the train to Schipol now for the first of two attempts today to get wireless. They've got the hardware, so we'll see.  If not back to this shop that was half shut down Friday afternoon and also Monday morning all closed until 1 PM. It's so because Sunday night is the big drinking night in Holland. We were able to dial out and connect wireless, but were disconnected soon.  Anyhow if this message ends here I'm sending it from the airport.
