Internet speed test. Result: 301 down / 376 up. Turned off Spotflux. Ran another test, which resulted in 1453 down / 487 up. Turned on Spotflux. Ran another test, which resulted in 1872 down / 460 up. So I believe that the internet at Park Plaza Victoria is inconsistent. French breakfast at Gebr Niemeijer with Neil, Chris, and Nate: similar to before: assorted pastries, coffee, tea. Afterwards Neil showed us his place—very modern, a short walk from Amsterdam Centraal. Back to the hotel. Napped for an hour. Spanish tapas dinner at Paso Doble with Neil, Chris, Nate. My notes from today: "2, 31, 18, 29, 22, 6, 11; crema catalan liqueur; wurst, ketchup, roll; imbiß = snack shop; pommes = french fries; toilette." Packed. I leave tomorrow for Cologne.
