My sister is going to make dinner this night for her party and lives a few minutes from Scheveningen. So we always go there to walk and eat. Today was a warm day, no wind, lots of sun, a perfect day! :D

As I jumped in December into the idea of Patricia and Jan to spend a weekend in Giethoorn, I jumped friday evening after a long day of work into my car. Well nothing could go wrong; backpack packed, nothing forgotten?! No, just heading for a two hours drive to the nothern part of Hol…

English version can be found below. Ik was nog nooit in Giethoorn geweest en als je dan leest dat er een TB Meetup wordt georganiseerd in dit Venetië van het Noorden (er zijn vast nog wel meer plaatsen die die bijnaam hebben) dan moet je daar natuurlijk bij zijn. Een heel weekend ging niet lukken…

  AMSTERDAM TRAVBUDDY MEETUP   Saturday, January 26, was one of the most dynamic and diverse days in my life.   Early that morning, I conducted a graveside funeral service just outside of Amsterdam for one of my friends from England who lived his final five years in the Ne…

As this was my first time in Spain I had some ideas about what the place would be like. Most of these turned out to be true. Now I know Seville is only a small part of the country but I will happily go back to see more of Spain, although I would not go back to Seville for the simple reason that I h…

Julie, Lynn, and I had talked the boys into agreeing to cook breakfast for us in the morning after our long venture back from country hopping before we headed out to Amsterdam for all the New Years festivities.  Lynn was adamant she needed at least 8-10 hours sleep so she took the cot in the s…

  It wasn't until morning that I realized the massive size of the Stena Hollandica. A wake-up call came at seven. I eagerly scrambled out of my comfortable cabin to gulp a quick buffet breakfast of bread, ham, and cheese with a cup of coffee, then explored the ship further. Deck 7 housed the …

I was asked if I would go to the vondelpark-picnic. I hadn't red about it but after searching I decided to go there, because it was just 1 afternoon. I talked to Gejah and Mandy if we could travel together and it worked out that we would go by car. After cutting the melons at Gejah's place we drove…

Much to my disappointment, ive learned so far is traveling on your own is a gamble, if you wanna play it safe and maintain what you got, sometimes you got to fold. If you are a poker player like me you understand.but im not sad, i know now i can stay on a set budget. Did i suceed in keeping it unde…

Queens Day starts with Queens Night (29th of April). Bars are open and in a lot of cities are performances of famous people. I went to my home town Amersfoort to celebrate this national event with a friend. I came home 5am and had to leave home 8.30am to go to Amsterdam to hang out with some g…

So to continue, I met up Dennis and many others who were waiting outside the Leiden Centraal station. Was very nice to see many of them whom I have communicated in the past thru requesting for friendship or 'arguing' in the Travel Chats.I felt a little awkward, dunno why. There were just many I did…

As I was realizng that I did not write for so many blogs and I'm too lazie to study at the moment, I'm going to write about the adventur in 'dusseldorf' that took place about 2 months ago. I hav to say that I forget so much, but I will try to recover with is left in my blond brain. I think it was …

Today was my third TB meet-up. I had been to one in Friesland and one in Leiden but this was the first one I actually organised myself which was a lot of fun! Initially the plan was for me to go to a presentation about Australia, held by a Dutch travel company. To a lot of people that might sound s…
