From Alice's Diary<br>"WEDNESDAY &#8211; LEEUWARDEN / GROUW &#8211; 08.07.09<br> The weather has turned sour but never mind we certainly can't complain as we have only had 3 slightly bad days in 5 weeks. Easy morning although I did spend a bit of time just to organize our cases ready for the big trip home. Christien and I went to the supermarket to get a few things and at 12.30pm Fenna arrived. After eating a ...

... 8217;s of us and waving at and every bridge we got to she was there again with her camera.  It was very funny.  After we got off the boat everybody of course had to have an icecream and then we went to Alie and Thewis house.  We sat outside in their garden, the weather had improved to a sunny day and the wind had dropped.  Thewis was home as well and it was great to see him I hadn&#8217;t seen him since I left Holland ...

Some of Alice's Diary Notes for Harlingen<br>" ..................We didn't realise how much time we had spend at the cemetery (locating the graves of Alice's infant brothers) so we took off and drove to Harlingen.  Harlingen is the harbour of Friesland and a gorgeous little place.  Lots of beautiful boats waiting to cross the Wadden which is the sea between Friesland and the islands of ...

... years or so. They are very proud of this as there are many much larger places close by that maybe called cities but have missed out on being included.<br><br>One of the things that is rather difficult to get used to is the vision of a sailing boat seemingly sitting in the middle of a paddock hidden somewhat by the farmers crops but moving along at a steady pace. More so in Friesland than other parts of Holland do you see this.<br><br>Thanks for the emails and messages

... br><br>FRIDAY &#8211; LEKKUM &#8211; 3.7.09<br><br>It was very hot today.  The temperature got to 32C and the humidity into the 90&#8217;s so it felt more like 40C.  Beautiful day.  Pieti&#8217;s washing machine got delivered and we had a little shopping to do for the bar-b-q and for the rest sat in the back yard under the trees.  We didn&#8217;t have much to do because Richard prepared all the meat and ...

Hey...this is the last entry by me (Emily) for awhile- Alecia and Kathryne will be adding the next few days! Tuesday morning we woke up way too early and got on a 6:24 train to Zwolle, Netherlands. Most of us slept during part of the train ride (we rode in segments and had to transfer a couple of times) because the train ride was so early in the morning. We had rented a car to pick up in Zwolle, but we had a hard time trying ...

... campings erbij, waar eet je en hoe reis je. Het is heel luxe, wij gaan met 2 auto's, ook dit is aangeraden. 2 weken geleden een nieuwe tent gekocht, dus het kan zijn dat hij de eerste tijd op de foto er nog niet helemaal netjes erbij staat. In de meivakantie lopen wij tot Hardenberg en hebben regelmatig een rustdagje (al dan niet verplicht), dit ook omdat Bambi toch een dagje ouder wordt en wij natuurlijk ook. Al met al, wij hebben er zin in!!!

... and this little shop. So - small, very small. Secondly - I'm not a huge fan of antique stores. At all. We walked into this little shop and it was so full of stuff that you didn't know where to start looking first. My habit is to start at the back and work my way forward. Aunty Yanni waschattingg to the lady who owns and runs the place - she's become quite good friends with her since they moved to the village - and mum was going mental over the 50 million teapots they had. I found a ...

Monday I went to Stenden to meet with the other foreign exchange kids and the FReC people. WE talked a little bit about what we were going to be doing for the week. Then after that we headed down town and split up in to groups and went off for a team scavenger hunt. After the scavenger hunt we went to a ...

... the room for us for an hour, but there are only 3 rooms left and he won't hold it for us after that if someone else wants it. We blast out of there quickly and arrive at our hotel in Harlingen just after the hotel kitchen closes, but they make us a quick meal anyway. I won't say much about Harlingen in this entry - that's in my next entry. The next day we head back to Leeuarden to see Gary's friends. They are great ...
