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).

Come 4th morning, and 04:00 my clanger clang and I quietly woke up. Freshened up and packed and was out the door around 04:30 because I had to find the right bus stop and or station as a backup.
