Must try La Colombe next time I’m there. Looks fabulous. A bit like Gaggan in Bangkok in presentation?
Couldn't comment on aAggan but can confirm that La Colombe was indeed fabulous! Agree with you 100% on the approach into CPT BobBHX!

The dining at La Colombe looks like quite a wonderful experience, especially the can of tuna!

I was surprised about the change in liquids rule at AMS too. I was chugging my bottle of water down while waiting my turn last month and was told by a security lady that there was no need .
Thanks very much DanielW! The can of tuna was such a fun idea!

The return at AMS wasn't great. I had a mini bottle of hairspray in my liquids luggage which got through on the way out but for some reason got confiscated on the way back......
