Background: The Kingdom of the Netherlands was formed in 1815. In 1830 Belgium seceded and formed a separate kingdom. The Netherlands remained neutral in World War I, but suffered invasion and occupation by Germany in World War II. A modern, industrialized nation, the Netherlands is also a large exporter of agricultural products. The country was a founding member of NATO and the EEC (now the EU), and participated in the introduction of the euro in 1999.

There were many reasons for us moving to live here in London - travelling, international work experience, building our indepenence, providing accommodation for travelling friends... but another important reason was for us to be able to build relationships with our families who are in Europe. And this has been the pinnacle of our time recently. On Saturday 6th October we rose at a dreadful 2am to be on the night bus at 3am to get to Stansted airport at 5am for our 7am flight to Eindhoven in Holland to arrive at 9am local time and to be greated by Kate's second [View Full Entry]

Today we visited my great auntie Joop at her home just outside Utrecht. We had a good chat and Rochelle played hostess making us coffee, soup and lunch then more coffee. Joop told us some of our family history and told us how to find the house where she and my Opa (grandfather) grew up. After lunch we left Joop and set off to find the house. We found the road without too much trouble and think we found the right house. We took a few snaps of the house and the surrounding area then had a look around the nearby [View Full Entry]

(Check de filmpjes bij deze entry) 6 juli is verjaardag van de Dalai Lama, de geestelijk leider van de boedhisten. Na zijn gevaarlijke tocht door de bergen naar India volgden velen Tibetanen hem naar Dharamsala. We besluiten via Amritsar naar Dharamsala te gaan om in Amritsar de Gouden Tempel te bezoeken wat de heiligste plaats is voor de Sikhs. Uiteindelijk belanden we in McLeod Ganj, een klein dorpje iets hoger in de bergen bij Dharamsala waar de meeste gevluchte Tibetanen wonen. Zonder dat we het van te voren wisten blijkt de Dalai Lama vanwege zijn verjaardag aanwezig te zijn en maken [View Full Entry]

MOTOTOUR 2007 Day 2-3: Køge (Denmark) to Utrecht (Netherlands) Distance: 710 km (of 8,667 km total) Marion woke up in Køge at 7 am. Zak was up earlier because of birds singing in the trees. The sky was grey and it was drizzling lightly. We packed up and were ready to go by 9 am. We weren't too impressed with ourselves that it took 2 hours to get going. We went looking for breakfast in the center of Køge, and discovered a charming little town with typical Danish houses. Brecky was coffee and some Danish pastries. We finally got going by [View Full Entry]

Whatsup? Currently in Utrecht, Netherlands after spending two nights in Berlin and on the way to Amsterdam. Here's what I've been up to recently: Vienna Dave and I arrived on the overnight train from Venice and saw our new friend Alan at the station, the third in an extended series of chance run-ins, and then headed to Dave's mom's friend's sister's son's apartment (very close friends) where we stayed for two nights. While our clothes spent some much-needed time in the laundry machine we explored the nearby fairgrounds which were playing host to Maifest, the local version of L [View Full Entry]
