... and filling our heads with fairy tales. We then headed back to Emil's pretty great student apartment, before heading out for a Greek dinner (Emil, Claus and I) and then to a pub for some pretty good Danish beer. We were joined later by Claus's lovely girlfriend, Louisa, and her friend, Charlotte. It was a great evening with great company, and for those who may be wondering, both Claus and Emil are in fine form and doing very well. Odense is a pretty city, and despite the huge ...

... alley where Hugo won handily.<br>The next day the kids had to go back to school, so we decided to head into Maastricht and have a look around. I'll let Whitney tell you about Maastricht and get to the important stuff -dinner! Trees cooked us Bami for dinner, which is a delicious noodle meal that went prettyquickly.<br>The following day is was time to say goodbye, so we bid farewell to the kidlets before school and got dropped off at the station with our bellies ...

During our stay in Spa we had the most scary, horrible, unpleasant experience ever in a restaurant.<br><br>The restaurant to avoid is "Le Bouchon Gourmand", the owner does not hesitate to insult customers, lock them into the restaurant if there is a dispute on the bill, and claim more money than is due. <br><br>See more on www.bouchon-gourmand.blogspot.com

... unfamiliar with this entire country :) We haven't really had much homework yet because we haven't received our text books. They mysteriously got lost in the mail, and the staff is unsure about when we will receive them, so it looks like we won't have much homework for a while :) The weather here has been absolutely gorgeous! I had to wear my winter coat for the first time today since we got here...and ...

... 45 minute window. The food is interesting...all things fried. I am not joking when I say the Dutch will fry anything and everything. On the bright side there is always fresh fruit and salads. We go to class from 9:00-12:15 Monday through Thursday. Currently I am taking Intercultural Communications and working on an independent study course. What a wonderul place to learn about that right? Maastricht is a beautiful old city. It is ...

Hola (Spanish), Dag (Dutch) or Good Morning to our friends. Thank you for reading our fifth Kids' Blog entry. There are some new pictures and videos that we hope you can view. We will be back at school for the start of the fourth term and can't wait to see everyone in Australia again. Our family has driven our motorhome - Tito the Kettle Van - through France, part of Spain, England and Scotland, Belgium and we are now in the Netherlands. We will soon return to Germany ...

It was an absolute pleasure to ride along the flat bike lanes attached to each and every road, a far cry from the stress and angst of riding alongside vehicle traffic in Australia, and we kept going for a good 25km or so to the town of Genk. <br><br>Genk itself was a fairly non-descript place, but when in a local supermarket we were each able to ...

Dit is de start van een nieuw leven! Een jaar lang weg uit de omgeving die voor mij gedurende 18 jaar zo bekend is geworden. Die bekende omgeving ga ik nu verlaten en ga nieuwe horizonten opzoeken. Spannend? Eng? Ik denk een beetje van beiden. Maar dat wil niet zeggen dat ik het niet meer zie zitten.<br><br>De laatste dagen zijn hier wel wat vreemd geweest, de dag komt ook zo dichtbij. Afscheidsfeestje is geweest voor vrienden en familie. Want ik ga ...
