DM: Maassluis changed to Rotterdam, Feb 23, 2020

That sounds like a good alternative Leo. I'm not familiar with Maassluis and its indoor opportunities but the great outdoors will be unattractive.

If you reserve beforehand an entire day at Parking Museumpark (right near Chabot) is € 18,50. If you don't reserve beforehand it's 21 €.

Since Ivo and I are carpooling that's probably not that much more expensive, considering public transport is also not entirely free.

Cheaper alternative is taking a P+R at the city limit and go to the center with public transport, or park either further away for free and take public transport from there (Tram to Museumpark or Metro to Eendrachtsplein).

So how about we change meeting to see each other between 10:30 and 11:00 at:

Doppio Espresso, Wytemaweg 72, 3015 CN Rotterdam, Nederland. It's close to the Chabot Museum and Parking Museumpark. It opens sunday at 10:00 which is OK for us.

I will also change the first post with the new coordinates

In case the weather suddenly turns nice there's plenty to see there as well, Museumpark, Delfshaven, Euromast, Het Park, parkkade etc. is all in walking distance.

But one important thing: it will make me feel much better if everybody can confirm that they have seen the new meeting place here, I don't want anybody to show up in Maassluis and wonder where all the other participants are.....

I have one of these large blue IKEA bags in my car, so that can help

Or we can do a car boot sale after coffee, saves a lot of hoisting heavy lenses around

Sure, no problem Domien. Just PM me your address and we will agree a pick up time.

I gracefully accept this change of venue.
