Hotel-Cafe 'T Anker Leeuwarden

... put her hands over her ears and say, not so loud, not so loud. Great memories. The pub where they used to drink and the bar stools were only for them even when they crossed the road to buy some salted herring. We sat on the terrace at the Harbour having a drink and watched this poor buggar trying to moor his boat and cheers and laughter went up when he fell into the water trying to get the rope around the pole.<br>

From Alice's diary,<br>"TUESDAY &#8211; LEEUWARDEN &#8211; 07.07.09<br> Christien, Cor, Mac and I were very slow to get started after all the excitement of yesterday.  Cor did go and play tennis for an hour but the weather was not to good. Rain and wind a typical Dutch day.  Christien and I went through all the old family photo's we had bought with us on my computer and she chose quite a few.  After we accomplished that we ...

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

... 8217;t much rain and we were very lucky because in the centre of Holland they had cloud burst and the street and houses were under water.  It was a great night, only the immediate family were here and we sat outside until about 10 o&#8217;clock.  After everybody left we walked the dog through Lekkum (still daylight) and it was the end of yet another great day.  Can&#8217;t believe our time with Durk and Pieti is over .................

... Zwolle, for lunch. When we got there, we saw the dinner menu, which was expensive, and saw that it was in a swanky hotel, so we were surprised when we saw the cheap prices on the lunch menu. We ate a delicious meal and were soon back on the road, first to visit Mom's third cousin, Arthur Nieman, whom she hadn't met before. After meeting Arthur, we went on our way, to Wim Jonkman's house. Wim is not a relative, but he and ...

... 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!!!

... them about NZ and our travel plans and Aria and Asher, and them telling us how they'd moved here a couple of years ago from Amsterdam. It was such a cool afternoon. I can't get over how friendly and open and welcoming they were!! But it doesn't end there. After our afternoon tea with them we went back into the shop because mum had finally decided which teapot she wanted and I had made up my mind to buy the painting. However, it's not just me who's in love with this painting - Walter ...

Well I decided to sleep in because all the other students that were taking the same city tour that I went on the day before. So I woke up and headed to Stenden about noon. When I got to Stenden all the students were meeting there after the city tour and we got on busses and headed to Friesland to get on to a tour boat. We took a tour through the canals of ...

... that I'd love to see them again. My only photos of Leeuwarden are of this family. Too soon we have to move on, for today, October 2, we must be in Amsterdam to get our apartment. If we are late, there is a charge of something like 10 Euros every 15 minutes we are late - I can't remember for sure. She doen't want to have to sit around waiting for people to show up. So we part company with warm memories of this visit.
