{OK} ESP - 93a UK - Roterdamo - 2008

The 93a Universala Kongreso de Esperanto was held in Rotterdam, 19 - 26th July 2008. CAS (& I) attended, travelling out by by train on the 18th. CAS had booked us into the "Grand Hotel Philadelpia" which had the No8 tram service running past (although I walked the route several times) and other tram routes nearby. The Congress was held in "Rotterdam Hall" and other parts of the Beurs World Trade Centre. This included the banquet (bankedo) during the evening of the 21st July. There was also an extensive "libroservo" and a number of side rooms for various meetings, courses etc, as well as some well patronised coffee & snack bars, as many people just wanted to chat with other esperantists.
We found a number of things of interest in Rotterdam, as well as the Congress. I took a number of images at the "Maritime Museum" in particular. as we made that our private excursion on the Wednesday.
CAS travelled back by train to Wales, although I went directly home, as I had an event to attend on the Sunday. Unfortunately, I went back to work that next week to find that I had been made redundant (Long story short - the company I worked for at the time had won a court case but didn't get their money and then there was a deep recession).
