As its name suggests, you'd expect to see a variety of retro games and computers at Bonami. What we didn't expect however, was how vast the collection would have ultimately become. From old-school typwriters to now-defunct computers and first generation Nintendo game consoles, you could literally find them all on display here.

For a fee of €15 per person, we were free to explore the museum to our hearts' content - except that they closed at 10PM and we only entered at around 8PM. Still, those were 2 very precious hours for us because there were so many things to see with so little time. 

On top of the museum aspect of Bonami, they also offered unlimited playtime at their retro arcade. Think along the lines of old-school pinball machines and standalone Pac Man games and you'll be on the right track.

One of these most modern and possibly sought-after section of Bonami, however, must be the area where they offer all the game time you want on the absurdly hard-to-purchase Playstation 5. Unfortunately for my other half, we have yet to be able to buy the console and we also didn't get to play with it at Bonami because somebody was already there by the time we were done exploring the museum areas of the establishment.

But of course, our adventures with Bonami didn't just end there. As the museum was located rather far away from the train station, you'll have to hop on an Arriva bus to make your way to the establishment. What my other half and I didn't know, however, was that Arriva buses don't come in the evening unless you request for them to do so. Thus unfolded our next set of adventure: Getting randomly picked up.

You see, we had waited by the side of the road where the bus stop was, really hoping that Google Maps was accurate with its timing. After what felt like a century, a van with the bus company's decals zoomed past us only to reverse and the kind man wound down his windows. We later learned that we were meant to call for a bus because they otherwise don't run, assuming that there was no one waiting for a ride. This was a great way to help save the environment as less running buses meant less carbon emissions. 

By the end of the night, we got a free ride from the bus stop to the train station that would have otherwise cost us €3 each. While it all worked out great and we made a run for what may have been our last train back to Amsterdam, we couldn't help but to think what would have happened if the van driver had never seen us. Someone up there was really looking out for us that night and I hope whoever that is will continue to watch out for us as we go on more adventures soon!
