Delft is primarily known for its typically Dutch town centre with canals, also for the Dutch painter Vermeer and Delft Blue Pottery.<br>Thera drove us from Zevenhoven to this picturesque city in the province of south Holland where I was very impressed with the charm, pottery and the history surrounding the life and assasination of William of Orange at the Prinsenhof.

(60 miles) After going to a few more museums in Utrecht with Roger and Caroly, we said goodbye and began the larger portion of our bike trip. Today it took us a while to get ourselves oriented and leave Utrecht but once we found the right direction it was smooth-sailing. The Holland bike paths are very clearly and thoroughly marked.

... I finished off by suggesting that expecting Asians to know about Cinderella was a bit much - a reference to the aural comprehension part of the exam. I'm not sure they agreed but I suggested they think about it. The well-know Esperanto musicians, Natasha and Jomart were giving a free concert in the bookshop.

... couple next to us sent theirs back once, and then almost a second time. The staff was taking a typically cooked prime rib roast, slicing off pieces, then throwing them into a frying pan to, our neighbors were told, "heat it up".

... is also where the Pilgrims stayed before they made their voyage to the new world (Mike reminded us). We went looking for the Pilgrim museum but couldn't find it. Walked around most of the town. Saw my first Domino's in Europe. Also saw an ALDI which not everyone has heard of in the US either. Went to a bookstore and read through a few pages in a lonely planet book...which are the only ones I ...

... charge of booking tickets online for everyone. His computer crashed at an inopportune moment and when he re-booted and logged back onto the website, the concert was sold out. As it happened, 80,000 tickets were snapped up in a record 45 minutes, making it the fastest selling show in Ireland ever. <br> <br>We were not the only people to miss out. It was reported in the newspapers that thousands of Irish fans had been left bitterly disappointed that ...
