Maybe they just had bad luck Matt dont know but I just talked to them again and said things are good today lol so who knows. Either way im sure you'll have a great time. They did mention the chinese restaurant out side the hotel and said it was good As far as i know Ive never been so just going by a 20 year olds experiences in a strange place.

Ate in the Chinese restaurant last year with the UK builders mob. Great food and very good service. It was quite quiet outside waiting for our taxis after the meal but no sense of danger. Just a quiet provincial Dutch town late at night.

Staying at the airport hotel again this year - it's close to the event and I don't drink beer, so that's not a problem

Looking forward to the MyCockpit.org dinner this year.

To Answer Question #1. Its hard to find a Hotel in general. But Matt and I and ralph are in the Airport Hotel in Leylstad.

As for the Weather, based on what I have read, expect Rain, and single digit to low double digit above freezing temperatures. 2 - 14 Celsius.

You may want to buy that Jumper.. Although buy it before you leave Auz.. cause a Jumper over here would get you something totally different. LOL.
Something a woman would wear in the form of a skirt/dress LOL

Nice.
The Airport Hotel is in front of the airport. There's a good restaurant at about 5 minutes walk. The restaurant doesn't serve dinners, only breakfast (very tasty breakfast).
Cu guys at Lelystad,
