Took the train to Schiphol airport, where I pretty quickly bumped into some of my colleagues with who I spent weeks in training in September/October 2004. Swapped stories on jobs, cars and traffic, chatting about cars and traffic being for consultants what the weather-chat is for normal people in the Netherlands.

Found out that Maarten had already missed a plane, noticed that another colleague managed to miss the plane as well and then we all took off for Copenhagen, the city where the 2005 annual company-holiday was taking us. After hanging around Copenhagen airport for an hour and a half, I got re-united with girlfriend, hugged and made our way to our hotel. Managed to bump into loads of colleagues while walking there and got appointed a pretty cool room at the 25th floor.

After a welcome party in Tivoli, with even more colleagues, girlfriend and I tried out a roller-coaster (don't mix rollercoasters and alcohol, people) before ending up in an Indian restaurant. Already liking the place!
