The first things we noticed were a pair of wooden shoes standing in our room. Was this for sale or did we had to do something with it. Yes, if we did not want any cleaning done the wooden shoes stay outside the room, cleaning the room you put them inside. Very clever. Today after having a good breakfast we set of to enjoy the beautifull area of Twente. Forrests, fields of corn or granes, a feast for your eyes. The GPR sent us again over the little lanes that runs between the farms and gives you those excellent views on the meadows where the cows are grazing in the warm summer sun. Farmers are everywhere busy and obstruct you on the road by the giant tractors pulling all sorts of machinery. We made a visit to Hengelo, the place I spent my earlier years. Told Liz about the war years and the bombardments in October 1944, when the city was destroyed. Our place was gone as well, that made us leave. Having a coffee on a terrace close to where the old house was. Memories come streaming back when we left and drove to Delden, to a place we often visited as kids, called Hoogspel. Now we are older we watched the kids playing there as we used to. Time told us to go back to be in time for our evening meal. Next day being so close we made a visit to Germany. Lots of Dutch people go there to buy wine and liquer that is much cheaper over there. Taking the small farmers roads, we had to watch lots of bike riders, that push their bikes along the same roads. It has to be a real pleasure for them to be able to do this without wearing a helmet, so you do not have the obstruction of the freh air going through your hair. The many small places we go through have terraces, that look so inviting to have a cold beer or anything you fancy. So we did. We even saw the old Jan Plezier filled with people having lots of fun. Cannot say the same for the two horses that had to pull the cart. Pity, it all is coming to an end. To morrow the last stretch, but we tell you that next time. Bye for now Liz & Allan.
