Tulip Inn Emmen

On Saturday the 8th of August Petra, her mum and I went to Bourtange.<br>Bourtange is a medievil village that is just on the Dutch/German border and is still inhabited today!<br>Once a month they have a Medievil market in Bourtange complete with knights, armour, sword fighting, celtic music, archery, cannon fire and re-enactments of famous battles!<br>This was absolutely fantastic.<br>As we walked through the main gates we were greeted with cannon fire coming ...

... neef) Patrick woont op Bali in Chandidasa en is daar getrouwd met een Balinese, Ketut. Naast hun huis, staat het huis dat Wim's zus heeft laten bouwen daar en dat is dan ook waar wij logeren. Ik zal in een volgend blog kijken of ik wat foto's kan plaatsen. <br><br>Wat plannen betreft hebben wij ondertussen ook al een goed idee van dingen die wij willen doen. We gaan natuurlijk nog niet alles verklappen (we moeten jullie ook een beetje lezend houden!) maar we gaan de Borobodoer ...

... into smaller transports for the gas chambers of Bergen - Belsen or Auschwitz. The inmates, however, lived in constant fear of this deportation. The entire day was quite sombre really and it was a sobering thought for both Petra and myself when we realized that this camp had been operating only half an hour away from Gieterveen where both sets of her grandparents where living at the time and where the majority of her family still live today! Enjoy the pics.

... kom je nergens, dus vervolgens zijn wij op zoek gegaan naar (betaalbare) tickets. Die vonden wij bij Cathay Pacific, een luchtvaartmaatschappij die ons op alle vlakken wel aansprak. Dus we hebben via de ANWB de tickets besteld, en alles wordt geregeld. Spoedig ontvangen wij de digitale tickets en arriveren wij bij het punt waar we nu zijn. Zaterdag 7 ...

He said that we haven't celebrated birthday together for 4 years already!! Oh... papa's b-day cake *sob sob*... no other presents can be compared to something made with love...

... dus misschien valt ze wel mee? T is in ieder geval blij dat ze geen kaart hoeft te lezen. Dat kan ze best wel goed hoor, maar ze heeft een bloedhekel aan dat getut met brillen. Zonnebril af, leesbril op, leesbril af, zonnebril op, en zo verder. Maar goed, campinkje is zo leuk dat we in geval van onverhoopt mooi weer misschien nog wel een dagje blijven...

Below is just a silly sort of essay I came up with while commuting to work on a cold, gray, windy day. There is a sunnier sequal to it coming up soon. RUN! Leafless trees, lifeless lives And the unbearable greyness of being Just another rat in the race Just another rat in the lab Let them earn a little money Let them spent a little more Let them run in their tiny treadmills Let them run to the shops and store Nothing but stuff to fit their cage Invest ...

... next day I take Justus to school on the motorbike after lunch, all his class mates are really impressed and ask me lots of things. Again I realize how much I love to spend my time with kids! After dinner it's time to make the last stretch to my final destination: My brothers'place! As I am invited to come and stay with them again.

Hello people, I will save you the details of my driver's licence 'drama', but decided to start my journey without it....
