Greetings from the land of clogs and cheese

Firstly I gotta say its currently 11pm on Monday 22nd June and the sun only set about an hour ago... This is craziness... How can someone even think of going to bed when the sun is still streaming through the window? And spare a thought to those beautiful eskimo folks who have seasons of non stop daylight or darkness through out the year... That must seriously mess with ones sleeping habits.... I know mine are getting screwed with but that could just be mum getting up at sparra's fart and refusing to sleep in... :)

Anyways - Mum and I are in Delft tonight and are looking forward to spending tomorrow with Corrie and Ad showing us round. So far it appears to be a very pretty city and very close to The Hague. The last few days we have spent in Goes with Kees and Nanja, Peter and Anja and their lovely family and then Ada and her beautiful family. Big thank you to all who have shown us their friendship, love and hospitality. Mum and I appreciate every last effort and hope to return the favour when you come to Australia.


Attached pics are a windmill (welcome to stereotypes'r'us) from Zierikzee (aka another town I have no hope of pronouncing, like every other word of the Dutch language) and the bridge going from Noord Beveland (no KB, not another Beaverland) to Schouwen Duiveland. Basically two islands, north and south if that helps :) Like most the bridges here, small and large, it opens up to let the boats through.


Stay tuned...
