... Phillips Electronics is headquartered here so there is your trivia for the day. And they make products that brighten our lives. Ironic, huh? And yeah, I guess it is success when you consider I found somewhere that never in a million years could I have ever imagined existed in this form. I saw a way of life that I would never have seen anywhere else and for that my stopover was worthwhile and educational to my senses. Actually I am glad I found a part of Holland most ...

... conductor came on the speaker system and said that our journey was delayed because of an incident on the train ahead of us. That would be the train that we had just missed. She came on the PA a few more times, saying that there was an "incident" on the train ahead of us. We'll have to investigate that tomorrow. Was it a mechanical problem? A drunk and unruly Spaniard? British electronics? A bearing supplied by Fiat? I have no idea.<br> After about ...

... the liberation which began with the parachute landings in September of 1944 on through the end of the war and the rebuilding of the Netherlands after the war. It included actual artifacts from prior occupation, occupation and liberation. A number of items geared to the Airborne but also included a jeep. <br><br>I took quite a few photos and I will post pictures of the museum for all of you. The last part of the museum was the Hall of ...

... That was the highlight of the trip so far. We actually took the jeep through Groesbeek and out to some of the drop zones of the 82nd. Snapped some photos and the guy driving was telling us that the German Border was only about 5 minutes away. SO GUESS WHAT? Off to Germany we went in an WWII Jeep. Over the border and we drove into Germany for a few miles in the jeep. So I can now say I was in Germany in a GI jeep. How cool is that. And I ...

... the 12th century and 15th century just spread out in different parks throughout the city. Amanda and I got to climb up a tower from 1420 that this artist now owns and he runs an art studio out of it-it was so cool and we got a great view of the city from there! We also saw the castle ruins in another beautiful park from 1150. It always blows my mind to see anything that old ...

Of course Welmoed ...

Monday morning, we got the key to our little flat. Its small but importantly for us it has internet , phone and cable TV. There is a very tiny bedroom and the bed takes up the whole room. When we tried to move it it fell apart and it also had a pretty bad matrass. We decided to dump it and buy a new one. There were another few little problems but with a bit of help from the family it was all pretty good and livable. We enjoy being by ourself and do the things we like ...

Niektori by si az mysleli, ze tento rok budem cestovat iba s babami: Pariz, Stockholm, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, Yosemite... No tak preco pre zmenu nevyskusat ako sa cestuje s chalanmi? Tentokrat som isiel do Holandska a vybratym clenom expedicie bol Juro z Esetu. Vybrali sme sa na 2 dnovy vylet do Eda - maleho mesto asi 15km od Utrechtu v Holandsku. Je vzdy zaujimave cestovat s niekym, kto az tak vela necestuje, lebo clovek sa vracia naspat k zazitkom, ktore som mal pri cestovani v ...
