The day after we went to Maastrict it was Mother’s day! Mick made croissants and boiled eggs, while Vince set the table. I assisted by knocking a wine glass over with my elbow and smashing it into a million pieces. We had lots of yummy food to celebrate Mother’s day, my favourite was strawberries on [...]
Poll: Should Lindsay blog about Barcelona
May 29, 2009 – 9:33 am
While I spent the week in Nijmegan, Lindsay went to Barcelona for EURUKO, a ruby conference. He had a few days before and after the conference to do some sight seeing. I have asked him to do a ‘guest’ blog but so far hasn’t had time. Maybe if he sees that lots of people want [...]

Elke drove and I directed (not really) to Eindhoven airport to drop Lindsay off. While waiting for Lindsay’s flight we sampled some Australian icecream (the brand is called Australian icecream!)
There are were some side effects, words such as Sheila, galah, streuth and ‘aussie aussie aussie, oi oi oi’ were unavoidable. There were some strange occurances…but [...]

So, back to business.
The next/2nd/last morning of our bus tour we all hopped back onto the bus ready for another day of exploring. Our first stop was just a little way out of Inverness.

The previous night the boys had [...]

So we booked ourselves a spot on the Macbackpackers Highlands tour. It was awesome. The end.
