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…

Gouda is a pretty little place some 25 kilometres of Rotterdam. When you take the train from Rotterdam, it brings you in about 20 minutes to Gouda. The town is definitely worth a visit. It has a lot of charm and a lot of old buildings and about 300 monuments. Gouda is famous for its famous chee…

In 2007 we went to the lovely Home & Garden Fair "Fleurig" with friends  in the Gardens of the Most beautiful castle of the Netherlands " Kasteel De Haar" te Haarzuilens. We also did a guided tour through the castle! I can recommend it to everyone!!!

I uploaded the video of the sparkles outside the Wokpaleis..... and dancing in a disco in Eindhoven.

Wouldn't you know it, the lights on my bike both broke so I had to get some new ones. By law you have to have working lights on your bike in The Netherlands. So I got a new reflector for the back with a built in light which is battery operated, and a front light which also works on batteries. …

  Whoo! Tomorrow is the day of leaving! I just can't wait. Ok ok, I have to admit, I'm a bit nervous but I'm sure when Im landed in Abu Dhabi it's gone! Today I've packed my luggage. It is ok for me, not too bad!  just 1 suitcase, I guess it's way to much but ok.. and a handluggag…

Hard to believe I was back in Europe again already! I just left in early January and did not think I would see another trip to the NL before Brett moved to Taiwan! After figuring out a way to bring me back for a few days, seemed like the time flew!  I left on a Friday afternoon and was meeting…

Keiko, one of TB's most active buddies, organised a mini meet-up for fellow TB-ers on Sunday 27 September in Delft. I was invited through a personal message, which I only got to see late Saturday night. Not by Keiko’s fault, mind you, I just hadn’t been on TB for a few days. In her message …

That morning til the min12 icecream! I had some sleep in, but not much... Ket was staying at my house, because he wanted to stay longer in Friesland and he could stil not in the Hotel.... It was also great having him around and we talked more that morning! I had so much drinks left so I took some …

And here come the people shots...If you feel offended by a pic earnestly please let me know - I'll remove it.

Almost time to start the trip. Can hardly believe these days have past so fast, they flew like a jet plane. Within 48 hours we be on our way to Prague ! Today I did get the groceries for hubby, so he can make his meals easy, without the thinking on planning the meals, and go to the supermarket. It…

Hereby my version of the Amsterdam Meet up. After weeks of chatting on the Amsterdam meet up forum, the day finally arrived. To be honest I was sticking nervous about meeting the rest and didn't know what to expect. After a last checkup at the forum, seeing if everybody was on their way, I toke m…

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…
