... in Den Haag the next morning feeling a little bit fragile. We were greeted by Nicole and Raymond (Dave's dad's cousin and his wife) After freshening up and lunch in the garden as is was an unseasonally warm day, we headed out in to Amsterdam, this time taking Nicole's new mini. We stopped in a neighbourhood where Dave's Grandma lived and where Dave's dad was born before heading right into the ...

... anybody that spoke English in a while, I thought "What the hell?" She started telling me how the United States was going down, how it was going to disintegrate into chaos, etc ... she kept going on and on, and was a psycho, no doubt about it. She told me that she used to model, and I remember thinking "For what magazine? Psychotic Serial Killers Weekly?" She kept trying to buy me a sangria, and though I declined ...

Anyways, Margie woke us up and we went across the street to Emma's where it was play date central with the nannies.

... walked around through the Red Light District and ate some lunch. It was a pretty long day and a lot of walking. Tomorrow is our last full day in Amsterdam. I think we are going to walk around some more and see all the neat buildings. My dad leaves Monday to go home, and Mark leaves Sunday night to go back to Madrid. I think I am going to head back to Madrid this week, and go to Ibiza with Mark and his friends next weekend. It's a small island off of Spain, and is supposed to be a lot of fun!

... I told that it would be impossible to reach and HH still. He came with me to the central station where I showed him the way to pick a train and got my bus to go to stay at Hanneke's place (fantameisje). He was really so joyful and I helpt him that he was like thank you thankyou and like hug before he left. It gave me the impression taht finally he wasn't hitch-hiking at all but actually he was just lost on his way to Germany! I took the bus and ...
