Day 5

Our resting day. Laundry, cleaning, internet, that was the plan. But in the afternoon we went for a nice ride in the country side near Utrecht and Amsterdam. Small places like Vinkeveen and 's Graveland on B-roads. Just enjoying the view and NOT seeing people haha. Visited a flower and plant shop (Intratuin), heaven for Pam! Valerie needed to play of course at her old place in Naarden, nice. Also went to the children farm across the street. Pam wanted to eat Thai, and I remembered a small shop in Hilversum (Hilvertshof) with Oriental food. Found it (still there close to V&D) and Pam could cook Thai again in the evening in Jacobs house. Before visiting my mother and enjoyed a come-together with the old people discussing Mama Mia from Abba (The Musical). Funny!
The pictures again will show what I described above!

Day 4

This time heading to Amsterdam. Very cold - 10 degrees - and little rain. Found the Thai Ambassy, delivered my papers and Monday my new visum is (hopefully) ready! Then going to the canals, exploring by boat! After that just touring in Amsterdam and went to see my mother again. Went to diner at the Bosrand at the Lage Vuursche again, together with my sister Carla and her daughter Sanne-Fleur. Nice catching up stories! A lot of pics taken:
