We’ve left Germany (for now) and entered beautiful Holland where we’ll be meeting up with our dear friends Bert & Camilla who will be flying over from Edmonton. In 1972 Bert and I bought a VW van in Amsterdam and travelled 18 European countries together. Now, 42 years later, this will indeed be a very special reunion for us. It will be a wonderful opportunity for the four of us to have some quality time together creating new memories and sharing a few more glasses of smooth Heineken beer without having to worry about the bar tab this time.
We are also really looking forward to touching base with more of our new Dutch family members via Anneke and Els whom we got to know at Cam and Lia’s wedding last summer. Having an opportunity to explore some of the local area where dear Oma spent her early years will be a fun experience too. We do plan on being in Holland for some time but over the next week or so our focus will be on exploring Amsterdam with Bert and Camilla and therefore my blog will be put on hold for a bit. Hope to have some good pictures and stories when we’re back on-line.
