The day of departure is getting closer! And preparations have really started. I bought a good backpack 2 weeks ago, and today I bought a camera. And I also booked a hostel in Sydney for the period around Christmas and New Year's Eve. Because Sydney is a very popular ...

This development offered helpful synergies with Rackheath, providing a scale of the development, approx 4500 homes have been built and we walked from one side of the ...

... somewhere you will probably never have the occasion to visit...Eindhoven in The Netherlands. <br><br>You know how Seven Up calls itself the uncola? I need to borrow their creativity and propose that Eindhoven market itself as the uncity because I really have yet to figure out what this place exactly is. I arrived at Central Station around 5:15am and was looking forward to killing a morning here before a 6 Euro Ryanair special to Bristol, England. Actually, Ryanair is my ...

... We participated in another ceremony at the Monument dedicated to General Gavin. It is a beautiful monument and we again had the color-guard, a choir and numerous presentations and once again a number of veterans were asked to present wreaths at the ceremony. It was a very nice ceremony. I am amazed how much the Dutch still appreciate these guys and what they did. They honor them, shake their hands, hug them and give them the respect ...

... stay put and not proceed to Arnhem. Such history here. As I crossed the bridge on our bus I saw a man on a bicycle cross the bridge and I wondered if he knew what happened here and how many men lost their lives for this river crossing. <br><br>I snapped quite a few pictures of the bridge, the monument, the dike and the power station that General Gavin used to survey the situation along the Waal River. More later. <br>

The main reason I had decided to come to Holland in March was to celebrate my Tante Welmoed's 80th birthday with her. My cousin Judith did pretty much all of the planning and it was a fabulous party! <br><br>The guest began arriving at about noon and included friends of Welmoed's as well as lots of family. Of course Welmoed ...

... near the Coevorden Picardie canal. Before we got back to Holland we went through this German landscape full of "JA KNIKKERS" I am not sure of the English word but they get oil out of the ground. Germany still exploits it, the other side of the border Schoonebeek stopped as they reckon it is not worth it .We got to our accommodation which we booked the night before and again the people were friendly and everything was OK . This time we had dinner at the local ...

... destroyed in the revolt, but when the revolt had ended, the Romans built another, bigger camp.. In 104, Emperor Trajan renamed the town, which now became known as Ulpia Noviomagus Batavorum, for short Noviomagus (the origin of the current name Nijmegen). In the 8th century Emperor Charlemagne maintained his palatium in Nijmegen on at least four occasions. Thanks to the Waal river, trade flourished. In 1678 ...

... In 1674 there was a disaster in Utrecht that left half of the church in rubble. The tower survived. There are different accounts of what caused the tragedy. It was either a tornado, or a hurricane. Either way, the tower stands today as a symbol of days gone by. About 3/4 of the way up you will come to the bell room. The largest bell in the Netherlands sits there, weighing 8,000 kilograms (9,600 pounds). These bells ring out every 15 minutes, and on Saturdays there are ...
