Hotel Ibis Utrecht

Let's face it, the cashew nuts are rubbish at directions. They can't see the road numbers from where they are sitting and they refuse to unfold the map. Consequently, we left the Hoek of Holland port and motored west for a few km before turning round and aiming for Utrecht. (You can't go more than a few kilometres in the wrong direction, or you end up in the North Sea). The ghost of my Dad was making strangled ...

He is also a great advocate of the whole couchsurfing experience ....I feel relaxed and at ease ...<br><br>The next morning Daaf offers me a lift into the centre on his bike. he asks me if I've ridden a bike ..."just one thing....don't try to keep it upright on the bends" ..I assure him Ive done this before and "Ive only fallen asleep once" ....we take off down a rather long and ...

... more of a dialogue is possible and there is less of a danger mingling into some dangerous war wherein we think we're the best and the most important. If someone says something positive about the Netherlands, we quickly play it down giving reasons and examples why it isn't all that great. Modesty and criticism rule when it comes to our country. We criticise politics, we criticise the bureacracy of big companies, we ...

So where to start... We came up with the idea of this trip probably more than two years ago. Both of us always wanted to visit China, as we love the cultural heritage of the country, and the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing gave us the perfect opportunity. After a lot of planning and many changes to our original schedule, we finally ended up with the trip as it is now, including the solar ecplise near Xi'An on August 1st and the ...

... a local pub crawl with Mier and Roel a few weeks ago, we discovered some weird places ;-) Something good came out of it though. Met this guy who is a bartender at this place called The Last Waterhole! A place to check out with live music all nights! Have done! It is my favorite now. Not to clever to go wall climbing the day after with all that alcohol in our systems, but great to do anyway! And the good thing is, the place is around the corner from ...

... that knowledgeable ... read the brochure which costs 2 Euros each ... noticed that people hardly bought it ... maybe only dumb tourist like me would) Well, look at what Kitchen Garden is today ... wow! It was a great experience and worth every bit of the 13 Euros entrance fee ... the only dampener was that this ... Free guided tours of the gardens are given by ...

... of bagels and different types of spreads. Of course, I had an onion bagel with cream cheese. It was delicious. For lunch we found a pancake house where we had pancakes and crepes. It was pretty good, but then again, I'm not a huge pancake fan in the first place. Saturday night was the best.

... of your emails. But just to catch you up, briefly, on my where-abouts and goings-ons, I'm in Abcoude right now, a qaint little town near Amsterdam, staying with a friend from Herrang named Niels. I will be here for a week enjoying the towns annual summer celebration called "Feest Week"(pronounced Fayst Vayk, you can probably translate yourself that it means fest week). I am fitting in quite well here and taking part ...
