Wilma's Party
This is a top pick! Wilma's Birthday Luttlegeest really knows how to put on a party. It started at 10:30am with coffee, birthday cake and a glass of wine, (and it wasn't even lunch time!) Wilma's apple tart with cream was delicious. All day the visitors trooped in, there ...
Interkona Vespero
This is a top pick! First day of the UK - the Universal Congress of Esperanto. I'm not even sure why I bother turning up. Even if I paid to join up there's not really that much for me to do here. I suppose it's just the principle now. Weather is absolutely crap. Coldish ...
Rotterdam, Day 2...
This is a top pick! Signed up officially to do the Esperanto exam. It actually goes over three days and each day you have to pass the previous section to be allowed to do the next. There was a bit of confusion over the fact that I don't have a congress number but sensibly ...
getting ready......
This is a top pick! Nowhere near ready of course but all keyed up, so excited. Deo volente this time next week we'll be on our way to Clédat, France. It has been too long, I will be counting the days - I have missed that little corner of the world, my sanctuary, and now ...
A little place called Gouda
This is a top pick! ... seen these as I think that the pictures of these particular windmills are circulated world wide to make everyone think that the Netherlands has more windmills than people. The reality is, this is the only place that I have seem multiple windmills ...
Day trip to Maastricht
This is a top pick! ... with lots of moderately priced restaurants and a real mix of old and new. It also has the only cathedral in the Netherlands. We enjoyed wandering around this town as well and admiring the cathedral. We found a terrific small restaurant for a very nice ...
Taking a break in Leiden
This is a top pick! ... outskirts, followed by loud smoke puffing factories. Much of the ride was spent a long side a 6 lane motorway - not exactly the Netherlands that one dreams of, but cities are the same all around the world and it can only be ...
Anne Frank & Bols Booze
This is a top pick! We ended up sleeping in and not leaving the hotel until around 11:00am. We decided to just walk back to the train station instead of trying to figure out the Amsterdam trams and bus system as it looked kind of confusing with its strips and all and just ...
Queen's Day 2008
This is a top pick! Hi everybody! Here are our pictures from Queen's Day this year. You've read about it in previous entries, so we won't repeat. This year the weather was threatening rain, with a few light showers, so it wasn't quite as busy and crowded as prior years. ...
Back in Amsterdam
This is a top pick! Not much time in Amsterdam. We returned late Friday night and on Tuesday Chris was off to Maryland to start Christmas vacation and help his parents prepare to move (actually to get 40 years of his crap-ola out of their house!). Soon after he left, the ...
Back in Amsterdam...
This is a top pick! 26th September - 1st October 2007. After the big drive from the north of France the day before, a lazy morning was on the cards. In fact it turned out to be a pretty lazy day all round. We gave the Citroen the once over at the local car wash in ...
Flowers, friends, a castle, and lots of Orange
This is a top pick! THE MONTH OF APRIL April was a busy month for us. It started with Chris' friend Rick visiting, along with three of his friends, and continued with tours of the bulb fields, a bike ride to a castle in Muiden, a day trip to Gouda, and finally ended, ...
Sinterklaas Avond (Santa Clause eve)
This is a top pick! Hi everybody! You've heard us talk about Sinterklaas in previous posts. Today is the eve of his birthday in the Netherlands and the day that Dutch family members give each other gifts along with a special poem written especially for the person and ...
Gay Pride 2005
This is a top pick! The Gay Pride parade in Amsterdam takes place on the Prinzengracht (canal) each year in August. For the past 2 years we've taken our boat out with our landlord, Rob, and his friends to watch the parade. It's an absolute blast. Great costumes and music ...
Happy New Year!!!
This is a top pick! ... couldn't think of anyplace to see a public display like we are used to in America. -- Normally fireworks are illegal in the Netherlands, but for the few days before New Year's it is legal to sell them and shoot them off. Almost any little tobacco store ...
The month of May
This is a top pick! ... diligent to maintain their activity level as the energy would be necessary to get through the rough period. SHOPPING Generally in the Netherlands all stores are closed on Sundays, Monday mornings, and by 6:00 p.m. every other day of the week except ...
Choose My Side
This is a top pick! After I stayed with Roland in Geneva I thought the bar had been set fairly high for quality of hosts. Then I spent a few nights in Rotterdam with the lovely Mandy Los and that bar was blown into the stratosphere. A little background on Mandy before we ...
Peter Crouch..... My Hero
This is a top pick! Quote of the moment: "I'm too old for this shit" - Lethal Weapon 1, 2, 3 and more than likely 4 It turns out we were right - starting our latest adventure with a 17 and a half hour bus journey was bold, brave and bloody uncomfortable. Too hot, ...
The worst hotel in the world - not so bad
This is a top pick! What marketing can do for an average hotel . . . It's the worst hotel in the world and proud of it By Adam McDowell, National Post Erik Kessels takes in his surroundings: linoleum floor, cracked paint, circa-early-1980s TV with ...
Open Monument Days
This is a top pick! Open Monument Day was pretty cool. We went into 4 buildings yesterday. The first was a church that I walk by on my way to the gym. It's normally open for services but not for tourists and looks like nothing from the outside but turns out to be ...
Geography of happiness and bliss
This is a top pick! ... on earth, in fact he's a self-confessed grumpy old guy. His pursuit of happiness takes him to hash bars of the Netherlands, and onto Iceland, Switzerland, Bhutan, Thailand, as well as some less happy places. The sad man went around the world on ...
Sex, Drugs and Soccer
This is a top pick! Amsterdam is Paris, but smaller. Venice, but with less tourists. Sitting at any one of the numerous cafes along the treelined canals with a tiny glass(25cl)of La Chouffe or De Koninck beer is heavenly. How we make it home to our hotel without getting ...
Flower Parade
This is a top pick! Hi everybody, After the Belgian Beer Weekend, we went to Zundert, just before the Belgium border in the Netherlands, for their annual flower parade. Our friends, Rich and Joey, had learned about this in their travels and suggested that we go. The day ...
A break in Holland
This is a top pick! After our last night of sleep in the cave we were up to another day of travels. This time our plane leaves at a reasonable time, noon. So we have time to have our breakfast in the restaurant / lobby of our ho(s)tel. After breakfast we said our goodbyes, ...
A Weekend with Thijs and Barbara
This is a top pick! ... than her English! They can also understand most dialects of German, since it is similar to Dutch. Housing in the Netherlands is very expensive. Barbara's guidebook indicates that there are, on average, 368 people per square metre, making housing a ...
What's happening in Amsterdam?
This is a top pick! ... . It is anticipated that there will not be any appropriate jobs with the bank in Chicago. Because of this, management in the Netherlands has agreed to extend Melanie's expat contract, which would have expired last week, for 3 weeks in order for us to ...
Our house
This is a top pick! Several folks have written and asked about the house that we live in. Based on a little research and talking with the landlords, Rob and Johan, Chris has been able to piece together some information. So let's go on a tour through time (well sort of ...
