A small group of people make it to Wendy's apartment to get drinks. The fact it has been a couple of long days is probably best demonstrated by the fact that the two Brits in the group both drink tea instead of beer.   The conversation is not as lively as it had been previously and …

The country I am referring to is called Friesland, in local slang Fryslan. Many visitors to the Netherlands don't come any further then Amsterdam. That's a pitty. There is so much more the Netherlands has to offer. We even have a country in a country. The province of Friesland (Fryslan) is the only…

The last day was a relax day. I slept till 9am and after a shower I had a breakfast downstairs. We brought our stuff to my car and then we met Brett and Matt. They wanted to have breakfast in the city. So they left us earlier and then Brett called me to tell that they were in “het broodhuis” in…

As is my unfortunate normal habit, I was up and about much earlier than intended on Saturday morning.  Being the adventurous traveler that I am, I decided to go on a Lion safari through the wild, untamed heart of Leeuwarden (Leeuw means Lion in Dutch). I started in front of my hotel, the very…

This weekend I was a tourist in own country. I've never been in Leeuwarden, Friesland. Friesland is the northern province of The Netherlands and mostly a agricultural, very flat area. We're used to the big city's of 'de randstad' = the big crowd of South Holland. We're used to big, high buildi…

It was also great having him around and we talked more that morning! I had so much drinks left so I took some …

Monday was meant to be a day for touring round Friesland by car, but everyone was far too tired, so it was basically checkout then lunch then goodbye, but only after Bret, Jos, Alex and myself had a breakfast/coffee at Het Broodhuis (Brett's house). They have delicious toasties and an even more del…

On Monday morning I was up in good time, as I needed to pack, and I also wanted to stoke up at the Hotel's breakfast buffet, as it was going to be a long day, with my flight not leaving Schipohl until ten in the evening. After checking out I carried my bags up to the train station, where there were…

We decided we would drive out on Friday so we didn’t have to get up so early on Saturday.  Wendi Carter (Austxlady) had arranged to ride out with us.  Wendi and I met where we keep out car stored and drove to Volendam to pick-up Rob (RobBPinAmsterdam).  Rob had to finish up some wo…

Returning to the hotel at 5 o'clock, I found some TBs sitting outside refreshing themselves with assorted liquids, but I repaired unto my room for a much-needed shower, after which we we were collected by Wendy and Rowena, the organisers, and escorted to the Pannekoekenschip, or Pancake Ship, which…
