Back - I forgot to add two things:
First: I rode along with Martin on the train again this afternoon... he had a schedule with Utrecht as the 'hub', something like Utrecht - Den Haag - Utrecht - Den Haag - Utrecht - Rhenen - Utrecht - Zwolle... anyway, so I rode along to Den Haag and as soon as we got there we heard that there was a broken 'bovenleiding'... the wire that hangs above the track... between Utrecht and Woerden. So we couldn't go back to Utrecht at all, and everybody who needed to go there (passengers) had to go via Schiphol (and thus also via Duivendrecht, of course). Really ridiculous... to give the non-Dutch an idea: picture a triangle. The connection I'm talking about is sort of like making the 'peak' of a triangle when you could make the connection in simply the bottom 'line' of the shape.
Anyway, so we sat around in Den Haag for a couple of hours and then got on a train which was supposedly going to Utrecht. Only it didn't; it went to Woerden and then there was another problem and it couldn't go any further. (Martin of course got swamped with people asking questions.) So we decided to take the bus to Utrecht (15 minutes), and got there just late enough for Martin to miss the train to Rhenen, so he had nowhere to go until 22.30 so we sat around in the 'verblijf' for the NS conductors and ate dinner and talked and stuff until I realized I really needed to go home, since I had my bike... so I went, and it of course started RAINING... grrr... but anyway, so that was my adventure and here I am. :)
And second: I LOVE THE NEW MARCO DVD... but I want to play the audio tracks on my mp3 player and I can't. If anyone knows how to rip DVD audio, please let me know...
