The Hotel Prinsenhof introduction page. And because we, from Hotel Prinsenhof, are Dutch, we decided to join you people here on the Web for the sole reason that e-mail is much cheaper than sending faxmessages all over the world. The fact that we got 5MB to play with and create a hotelpage was neither here nor there, but that's where the scrooge-part comes in; What you have you should use, otherwise it's wasted money. Not in the way as in some guidebooks, not in the way the Tourism Board depicts it, not in the way your friendly couple from down the road who've been to Emsterdem can tell you all about it, but with the eyes and heart of a local amongst the locals. www.hotelprinsenhof.com /intro.html   (605 words)

Hotel Prinsenhof and Amsterdam On one of our travels in India we took a photograph (as you do) of an articulated bus as we'd never seen one before and thought it a brilliant idea. In 1997, as we were designing the hotel Prinsenhof website, we published this picture on the frontpage of the transportation pages just to add a bit of air and colour to the site. In May 2002 we got an e-mail from an American lady (see below) who seemed to be rather disturbed by the picture and suggested we remove the "disastrous" image. www.xs4all.nl /~prinshof/mokum/calcutta.html   (1070 words)
