Oortjeshekken Hotel Ooij

Nog 2 dagen... en dan gaan onze nicht en aanstaande neef op vakantie naar Australië!
En ondanks dat wij zelf eind mei ook Down Under gaan zijn we stiekem toch een beetje jaloers.
We zitten potverdorie hun vertrek af te tellen!

Maar we gunnen het jullie en zijn vooral heel nieuwsgierig of jullie net als wij bezeten raken van dit ...

Hey allemaal, *For English speakers: Just look at the pictures and ignore my Dutch ramblings ;)

Gister heb ik mijn sleutel overgedragen en ben met mijn laatste spulletjes naar Nijmegen verhuisd. Een beetje het begin van mijn reis dus.

Ik heb de meeste dingen geregeld, de nodige visa zijn binnen en ik moet alleen nog een manier ...

Well, here I am. Back home. Partly I am glad to be home, but an other part of me wishes I had never gotten on the plane home. :-)
I'll try to stay up till my normal bed time, because of possible jet lag. I'll see how it goes. And tomorrow I can start the fuss of activating debit cards, buying a new wallet, etc. I really hope the jet lag won'...

We wove our way down the small street- proceeding carefully with the large bus. There are modest houses on either side, and as well as a small grocery store. Beyond the fruit market on our right, which led to an open field for agriculture on either side. We came around the final bend, and caught our first glimpse of our home- A 16th century CAST...

Steeds meer onduidelijkheid. De varkensgriep gooit roet in het plan! De berichten in de media worden serieuzer....vaccin aanmaken duurt een half jaar....tamiflu vertraagd het proces, maar is niet voldoende voorradig....preventieven maatreglen helpen niet....incubatietijd van vier tot zeven dagen..... Ook in Mexico gaat het de verkeerde kant op. ...

Hey all!  This week was super busy!!!  We started classes on Monday, and all week I have been going to classes and trying to get back into the groove of school after having four months of summer!  My classes so far seem really good!  My favorite is History of Western Art I: Renaissance and Baroque.  The professor is awesome and he is the curator...

Still in Belgium at this point.... As the weather was nice, we knew of a big park, with lake and beach and stuff to do so we thought that would be a good place to go, then the weather turns **** again..... but as luck would have it, Paddy (Cork lad from Oz) got in touch - he was in The Haag, Netherlands!!! So we left rainy Belgium, and headed in...

Day 2 (Friday) "Finally, we have arrived" After about 16 hours of traveling (It felt like more with the time change), we arrived at Vierslag (which I'm sure I spelled wrong). Vierslag is the Atlantic Bridge house where we spent our first night in The Netherlands. We had a quick walk around the village and then it was time for dinner. We were ser...

On this sunny, sweet Friday morn the hostel was underway with its usual buzz of activity, dudes moseying and lounging around downstairs, fixing themselves free meals of eggs and ham, sipping freshly percolated coffee, Evelyn shedding scalp skin about the place like the mad woman that she is, pretty much the usual. It bemused me greatly when i re...

Eveline showed me Utrecht today! Leaving the house at 11.30, we walked to the bus top and caught a bus in to town. We wandered around everywhere! Into lots of shops looking at clothing and presents (for a birthday part Eveline was going to tonight) and it was so much fun. Utrecht is a great place! There is a lot of shopping places. But first, in...
