Leaving Belgium!

Last country on the list , be home soon!!!

Lunch in sassenheim

Well this is the drink I had before lunch, capacino with a neat little
leaf shaped shortbread. In front of a fireplace of course to dry our
wet jackets and etc

Unfortunately boskoop is 60mins from here via train, (2 line
transfers) and then 90 minutes from Amsterdam, which sees Kim and I
missing the bus back to the hotel. So we've decided to go back to
Amsterdam from here Now which should give us time to tour Anne franks
house before catching the bus back to the hotel to change out of wet
clothes and then go back in to town for dinne and a cruise of the
canals. If it wasn't raining so determinedly today we could have done
it all, but we really shouldn't risk missing the bus and spending the
evening in wet clothes... And having to catch a 40€ taxi back to the
hotel. I've missed a few things this trip and it's very sucky...

So waiting for taxi now and will be driveN to voolhous train station,
from there to Leiden central and from there to Amsterdam... Hopefully
all in 60 minutes or less :)

Still on the train!

As you can see, very wet and rainy in the Netherlands which makes
taking pictures harder, bit also makes for a cozy relaxing train ride...

Lucky I have the addresses for oma and opa's houses in sassenheim and
boskoop and also downloaded the streetmaps on to my phone which ALSO
has gps so getting around will be a piece of cake. Only trouble is I
don't have a map with street numbers so we have to hit the street in
the middle and count our way out...

Omas place looks to be a 3 km walk from th train station so hopefully
it won't be windy otherwise it will be a cold and miserable walk.

Taking a lot longer than I thought it would, but the from omas town I
think we're only taking 1 train to opa's town, then 1 train to
Amsterdam... So after sassenheim things should move a lot more smoothly.

Netherlands!

Kim and I on the way to sassenheim to find omas stomping ground. Last
night we hit a coffe shop while most everyoneelse went to the Dutch
cultural event, then we got on the bus when the others didn't and left
them behind! But that's okay because the bus ride was free and we'll
head out again tonight when we get back and also I was getting motion
sick on the bus as it was

Unfortunately don't get to visit cousin Hein today but we send our
best wishes. Oma gave us some letters to deliver so we'll post them
when we get back to amsterdam.

Netherlands

First stop in Netherlands and Kim gets stuck into oma soup. Don't tell
oma that she can start charging €10.80 for each serving though...

Back in Germany

So we're in Germany again which is good but we're about to leave after breakfast. Really nice place we'*re staying in except for the smell of smoke which is a bit harsh but then I guess youd get used to it living here?

Got a call from 4168478742, toronto... anyone know who that might be??

Leaving Prague

And on our way in to Germany for the last time to stay at St Goar. I'm
pretty sure, but not as sure as I wa yesterday, that I've been here
before. We'll find out soonish anyway.

Prague was awesome! For starters, everything is Perth less than perth
prices. Then, for every street you walk down, every block has
something interesting to look at. Suvenier shops, electronic shops,
antique, museum, jewelery, cafes, pubs, karaoke, everything you would
want to do in a city all packed into a place the size of perths cbd
and there are 3 times as many shops with 5 times the variety at half
the price! Cocktails at $3! And then everything is done right... Their
stock is quality, and their facilities are spick n span. There's also
a pub where you get a table and you have your own beer tap... Then
your table competes with other tables the the live results are
projected on the wall.
