Her husband, Bert, came home a short while later and our gracious hosts served ...

Renata left us in the centre of Hengelo around 9.30am. The main shopping area is pedestrianised, so it is nice to walk around. Dad's ghost walked round with us, nodding occasionally at some of the older buildings. I think he recognised the church but when I asked he just shrugged.

They are doing some Nanotechnology work and would appreciate the American perspective. The ...

Day 3, LOSSER TO SCHOONEBEEK This proved a tough one. The route was nice as always but easy to get lost and offcourse that's what happened.
