Is it safe to drink the water?
Very safe! We drink it all the time. It is one of the safest in Europe!
Bicycles. Can they be rented from the hotel or where?
There are no bikes for rent in Aalsmeer.
There is a bus station near the school and also near to the hotel so they can take the bus to Amsterdam to go a museum.
1. Some travelers/students want to set up some side tours. Does the hotel do this? What do they offer?
The hotel does not do that. I can have a look but it might be easier if I know where people would want to go to. I do not know if there is much time for side trips beside the evenings.
2. If not how can we find a tour facility?
Anne frank house is € 9,- per person
3. Is the internet in the hotel cost in the price of the room? The have wireless internet but not included: 50 min € 5,95. 100 min € 9,95, 1 day € 15,95, week € 24,95.
4. We are checking with a couple people we buy from to see if we can have a more in depth tour of the Auction, complimentary. Our buyer is checking with Holex I believe. Any insight on that?
Holex I need to check but we have very good contact with the very friendly people from De Gooijer international (DGI) and I can also make an appointment with them also if you like. (This it is not in the coach fee, so it might have to be paid extra)
5. Several students are asking about buying books from you and supplies from the market and sending them home by mail. How will they be able to do this? The can buy books from us. We can ship them home. We use the international shipping rate without any costs.
Els took me to the supply side of the Auction after the fresh tour. We will like to go there as well.
After paying a visit to the auction and before we go to the Keukenhof, we will go to the wholesaler ‘Alflora’. We will introduce you to the manager. We also have an account there and people can buy there as long as it is cash and I will need to check what kind of cards they except.
When we talked they were having to purchase tools, according to the booklet it says they are included. That is correct but I have changed it to make it easier for them. I told them if they want to bring their own they can. They may be taken so do not bring their favorite. Yes, they can take their own, as long as they pack it in their suitcase and not hand luggage is fine.
What will happen to our finished designs?
Normally everybody takes the arrangements home. However if you are staying in a hotel, it might get a little crowded in the rooms.
Sometimes when we have Japanese groups they cannot take it home and then we bring it to a retirement home. They are very happy with it.
If some of you want to ship it home. We can send it together with the books that they want to buy at the school.
