A day of HP...it was icky outside.

Monday, 7 Nov 2011 | Views [562]

It was back to the Monday routine as we helped get Dino ready for school before he and Jeanine left for their day. Jeanine is away until Wednesday so we had to say our goodbyes to them both this morning- very sad... After breakfast ... Read more >


DEER!!! (and a cheeky jam session)

Sunday, 6 Nov 2011 | Views [640]

Another tasty and relaxed breakfast consumed before we rugged up and headed out to visit Jeanine’s Opa. We were hoping to take him out to enjoy the autumn goodness but he was a bit under the weather so a quick visit was all that we managed.... Read more >


Dino and Delcious Dinner Day

Saturday, 5 Nov 2011 | Views [592]

We awoke still miles from the floor – that air bed is crazy! Dino was VERY excited to meet the giant air bed and bounced around on it until breakfast time. We had a late-ish breakfast together before heading out into the sunshine – Dino ... Read more >


An Eventful Day...

Friday, 4 Nov 2011 | Views [648]

An early start for all – brekkie scheduled for 0730 so we had a chance to say goodbye. When chatting about it on Wednesday we agreed that an easy brekkie of toast and coffee would be wisest as Simon especially tends to be on auto-pilot ... Read more >

A real live deer - finally!

Monday, 3 Oct 2011 | Views [572]

Another slow start with loads of washing – seems to be the trend! After a morning munch we set out to explore Brouwershaven a little. Wearing our jackets for the first time in AGES we set out into the wind. Turned out to be warm ... Read more >


Sunshine + BBQ = great combo.

Sunday, 2 Oct 2011 | Views [528]

The Warriors! That was our goal this morning - both of us up before 0800 to try and get a live stream working on the computer in order to watch the NRL Grand Final. A few technical issues but Bray got it sorted and we were able to watch the game. First ... Read more >


Catch up day

Saturday, 1 Oct 2011 | Views [531]

Another fine day in Brouwerhaven! Awesome. We got up a bit later today - house to ourselves as Jeanine stayed in Goes last night. Weird to have our own space but fun. After brekkie we got on the bikes and follwed Jeanine's map (with some detours of ... Read more >


Creating a car

Friday, 30 Sep 2011 | Views [483]

A slow start this morning after another post-midnight bedtime. Jeanine is technically still on holiday but is leading a course on Monday so had to go in and do prep this morning. A couple of loads of washing through in her absence then ready to go ... Read more >


I Amsterdam

The breakfast this B&B supplied was amazing. Fresh bread, cheese and a selection of cold meat, boiled eggs, toast (with pineapple jam – like Thailand!), coffee, tea, fresh orange juice, yoghurt and snelle jelle (these fruit bread/muesli bar type ... Read more >


Road Trip

Today was another slower start – up, brekkie, made sandwiches for lunch and packed some fruit and bits then we had to pack our overnight bags before heading North. Jeanine had booked us into a B&B in Edam for tonight so we could spend all of tomorrow ... Read more >


The joy of Ribs

Tuesday, 27 Sep 2011 | Views [472]

An earlier start today as we all piled into the car to take Dino to school. We got to see his classroom, teacher and classmates before heading home. It was relaxing time then as we had a late breakfast, watched a DVD and eventually got ready before ... Read more >


Day with Dino

Monday, 26 Sep 2011 | Views [564]

Dino had a day off school today (teacher stuff) so we got to play! Tasty Dutch bakery treats for breakfast with real coffee...delicious. Then we headed out to the storm surge barrier...a local attraction and a life saving one in case of storms and ... Read more >


What a day...

Sunday, 25 Sep 2011 | Views [1026]

What a day. SO glad we had an early night last night as today was stressful and long in so many ways! Started out well with both of us showered and in the car for breakfast by 0530, last things packed into bags (tent & fly included) and ... Read more >
