Backpacking

Our travels around the Europe.

Where I Sit on a Ferry at 5am Surrounded by Bikies Drinking Tea

So if I failed at blogging before, I fail even more now. Its been over a month…or 2 months or something since I blogged! jikes. 
Another thing I failed in? We met Avi, after talking to him via Beer we finally got to meet up with him at Beer’s house. I didn’t take photos and forgot [...]

Amsterdam

Last Thursday (don’t faint, I know its a shock that I am almost up to date) Lindsay and I went to Amsterdam, to meet Cassie and Jimmy. Cassie and I are friends from primary school. Jimmy, her boyfriend is working in Bristol, so they came over for a weekend to see Amsterdam with us.
We met [...]

Nijmegen

After a week back in Den Haag with Beer, Lindsay and I went to Nijmegen to stay with Dick and Marja, Tim and Nikki.
Tim picked us up from the station, took me to a pharmacy to I could get some antihistamines (they have 4 cats).. That evening Marja taught me how to do Mosaics. So [...]

Elke is Geslaged.

The day before Elke found out if she had passed her exams, it was her Formal. Here they call it a Gala.
She and I had spent the day searching for black gloves to wear with her dress. We found some long ones, she chopped them up, sewed some cute bows onto them and they were [...]

Oss

Its raining. And I am going to blog, and catch up on about 6 weeks of missed blog posts. My mission (should I choose to accept it) is to catch up completely. Hopefully my long list of faithful subscribers will forgive me…
Oss. After leaving Den Haag (we have since returned 3 times…Oops!) we arrived in [...]

Scheveningen

Scheveningen, the Gold Coast of the Netherlands. The first time we went there Lindsay and I walked there, it took us about 6 hours because we went via Madurodam…so it actually took us about an hour. 
My first impression of Scheveningen was “this is a beach?”

actually it was the strand along the beach, but it was [...]

Explorations of Den Haag

During our stay in Den Haag Lindsay and I did lots of walking, we would walk from Beer’s apartment in the direction of the shops and just wander around.
One day we came across some people moving into a their new house, Dutch Style!

This a lovely square in the middle of a very trendy and exclusive [...]

Tong Tong Fair

To make up for my blogging sins, I am going to write many blogs today…because wrongs are always righted with many writes…or something.
While in Den Haag we went to the Tong Tong Fair which is an Indonesian/Asian cultural fair.
You can find it by the giant white tent with kites being flown over it:

Its a series [...]

Madurodam

I am a terrible blogger, I am going to blogger hell. I am about 4 weeks behind in my blogging. And everyday something else exciting happens which I need to blog about.
So I have made my confession, said 5 x Hail Marys, 2 x Lords Prayer and 100 x **** I need to blog.
On one [...]

Den Haag

Lindsay and I arrived in Den Haag, (or for you forgeiners The Hague). We were there to stay with my Dad’s oldest friend, Beer. He picked us up from the station and drove us to his amazing house in a beautiful part of Den Haag.

The next day he was going to Amsterdam for a meeting [...]
