Today I got up at 6.15 to go to the Consluate again in Amsterdam. What happened at the train station, should have already been a sign that this was not going to be a good day. Trains leaving Groningen towards the South depart at XX.17 o'clock every hour (and another time as well). However, I now know this does not actually go for the 7AM train, because that one departs at 07.14 o'clock, 3 minutes earlier... It left when I walked onto the platform. Oh well, this should have been a sign this was not going to be a good day.
When I arrived at the Italian consulate I obviously had to wait for half an hour first. This is normal and I do not care. However, when I did get to speak to someone, it turned out that the information I received was not completely correct and I had to go somewhere else first. In fact, I had to go to the IBG-office... In Groningen... So I returned to the trainstation, missed the train again, waited for half an hour and returned to Groningen to visit the IBG (by now, it was 14 o'clock). THis actually went very smoothly and I received the necessary paperwork without problems for only 12 euros. I then had to go to the Groningen Court, where I received a particular stamp (for 30 euros).
Now I (hope I) am completely ready for the bloody consulate, which I will visit again on Monday...
I am not happy.

Poor, poor, Olaf. I have been advised to hire a professional agent for my Indonesia visa, but I would not have guessed that the Italian embassy (EU, after all) would make that much problems. Couldn't you make them an offer they could not refuse (capice?)?
