GlenDronach Distillery

During our trip to Scotland last summer Amanda and Richard took us to a distillery near their home.   We have visited many distilleries while living in Scotland but even though we knew the process it was so nice to see all it once again.  And of course to taste it all again! 

Sláinte!

Weekend Ameland

We are not in Holland to celebrate Gerda's 75th birthday but to make up for it we took her and Elsbeth to Ameland (one of the islands in the North of Holland) for a weekend.

We left the cars on the mainland and took the ferry to Ameland where we picked up our rental bikes.  We stayed in Hotel Nobel where we had a wonderful birthday dinner.

The rest of the time we spent biking around the island, building a sandcastle on the beach, having nice lunches and dinners and enjoying each others company.

Wildlands Zoo Emmen

The zoo in Emmen (where we have been before) has undergone a complete overhaul so this year we had to go and visit with Poezeoma.  It is decided into three areas; the jungle, the savannah and the polar region.  Floortje, of course, loved the giraffes and Famke likes all the animals.  Lots of walking but a good day!

Evening in Utrecht

A fun evening in Utrecht with the Family Geuze-Land.

First a highly competitive bowling match followed by a wonderful dinner in an Italian restaurant on the 'gracht'.  Of course all of this combined with nice food and drinks!

Like good Dutchies we did this on our bikes and even parked in a parking garage just made for bikes  a new experience for the Dutchies living abroad!
