AC Hotel Oosterhout

Hi my dear friends,<br><br>it is now official, I am going to write my thesis in Dublin next year :):):) This means, that I will move there beginning of January 2010 until at at least end of May! Yeahhh, I cant wait to be back!<br><br>And I got more great news: I will spend Xmas ...

I've been here so many times &amp; I never take pictures... so I decided to remedy that this time. Dordrecht is one of the most picturesque towns I've ever seen, &amp; I'm lucky to have the opportunity to stop there often on my way to Africa to visit my good friend Colette.<br>

... between noon and six but it must have been at least 60 or 70. By 6 o'clock most of the guests had left and the party turned into a family affair. The group slowly dwindled until by midnight it was me, Welmoed, Pepi, Bogusia and Marc endlessly telling jokes. Wow! 80 years old and she partied for 12 hours! <br><br> <br> <br><br>

Beste mensen, Dit wordt mijn eerste stukje tekst. Over anderhalve week vertrekken we richting Zuid Ooost Azie. Die 22 november zal een lange dag worden. We vertrekken om 9:45u vanaf Zandvoort met de trein naar Amsterdam Centraal, dan door naar Dusseldorf ...

... sang, laughed, all with the native Dutch people while looking across the street, over a canal, to shops that had been there for hundreds of years! We explored Leiden a bit more (see pics.) We got back to their house and had some Mushroom soup that was pretty darn good! And I'm starting to feel small as an Eden Prairian or even an American. There is so much culture and history in the world that I ...

Dist; 125 Km Total: 429Km Went for my first swin in the sea Today in about 2 .5 years. It was sweeet. I'd forgot what salt water tasted like. I've noted all the Dutch riding their bikes bolt- upright. Looks pretty uncool, but comfortable. I've forgotten about the pain in my right knee now because of the numbness and soreness of my left arm from the elbow down. I'm sure i'v pinched a nerve. So today i adjusted my bike as close as ...

Hey everyone! Just a quick update to let you all know that we have arrived safe and sound in Oosterhout (fromSchipol) at Fred and Jenny's (Rob's extended familly). The weather is not so great right now (rain and wind)... Oh well. We haven't really had a chance to explore yet, just cuz we're so tired... Jetlag is a wonderful thing. Actually, I'm not so tired, but Rob is. Oh, remember how I said Gatwick airport was huge ...

... together. So off we went to Gouda. This place was a small town, about 1 hour out of amsterdam. It was so nice, like amsterdam there were little canals everywhere and the building dated back to the 1500's. It had so much history, just walking around made you feel like you were back in time. We had dinner at an Pizza place, then headed out for ...

... and he was given some sort of ticket, but in the end did not actually have to shell out any &euro;'s for that trip....I would assume he will get a notice in the mail if it's not paid....The whole thing was bizarre...The conductor was polite as possible and just didn't seem to understand why the guy did have a ticket...I did learn something....She did say that the conductors can help with change if needed, which is good to know. After we got back to Centraal Station, Sinclair caught a ...
