We were setting up the office to be connected with our computer network in London. We managed to get most of the stuff done over the Friday and Saturday which allowed us to do a bit of sightseeing on the Sunday.. http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Netherlands/South-Holland/Delft/blog-282218.html Lord's Table Meeting and shopping for Dutch specialties like stroopwafels Douwe Egberts Koffe Drops black licorice hagel slag chocolate sprinkles for bread 'cow bars' the first chocolate bar speculas spiced cookies pannenkoek mix pancake mix. http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Netherlands/South-Holland/Delft/blog-248256.html Thursday in Holland http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Netherlands/South-Holland/Delft/blog-247931.html Okay so this is just a test run to see how it all works... i have 7 days to go before hopping on a train to Paris. i have just confirmed all my details for my hostel. it seems to be in a very good location.

Our highlight had to be the delicious chips with mayo and satay sauce http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Netherlands/South-Holland/Delft/blog-204733.html Ey luitjesNog even een update voordat ik straks de wijde wereld intrek. Ik ben vandaag aan het proefpakken geweest en kwam uiteindelijk uit op een keurige 155 kilo dus dat zit wel goed. Er zal nog wel het eea bij komen maar gezien de beschikbare ruimte beperkt zal het wel loslopen. Nog wat troep in de handbagage maar ook weer niet te veel want je moet het ook weer kwijt in je backpack stra http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Netherlands/South-Holland/Delft/blog-203454.html Dag lieve kijkbuiskinderenIn een vlaag van waarbenjij.nu moeheid heb ik besloten om eens lekker nonconformistisch een blog te beginnen op travelblog.org.

There is just a whole different vibe in the Netherlands versus other parts of Europe. The Flemish part of Belgium has a little of that feel but it just isnrsquot the same. I had read about this place Kinderdijk which has the largest concentration of windmills and I thought it would be a great place to take the http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Netherlands/South-Holland/Delft/blog-183208.html Hopefully the journal entry will appear soon. http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Netherlands/South-Holland/Delft/blog-96453.html sorry its been so long. you would think finding an internet cafe in europe would be easier.Quick Notes1. Holland is FLAT This lends itself to lots and lots of bikers not the Harley kind. Legally they do not have the rightofway and must yield to cars but nobody has told them that. Anyway it makes for tricky driving because now you have two more lanes of traffic to pay attention to.Det http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Netherlands/South-Holland/Delft/blog-90363.html Hello all After the last update we walked around downtown Rotterdam. It's a totally new city because most of it was destroyed in 1945. All of the architecture is ultra modern and one building even has an entire wall about 25 storeys high that is sort of a digital screen. We took a boat tour from Rotterdam to the windmills at Kinderdijk. There are 19 of them there. One is for touring and th http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Netherlands/South-Holland/Delft/blog-87113.html Hello EveryoneSirry about the last post we put captions on all of the pictures and for some reason they did not upload. We are so busy seeing things that we barely have time to look for an internet cafe. Right now Terry is in a museum and I am quickley writing this as we are to meet in five minutes. It took me the better part of an hour to find this computer.We will post more pictures soon.Br http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Netherlands/South-Holland/Delft/blog-62912.html Even though we had had a nap the previous afternoon we somehow managed to sleep until 11. We awoke to an empty house as Lenny Joyce and Misha had gone down to the shops. Soon they were back and Beck made everyone sandwiches for lunch breakfast for us.After lunch Lenny took us to the town of Delft which Beck had been to when she was younger and she remembered it as a pretty town with a chu http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Netherlands/South-Holland/Delft/blog-52929.html Victory Another crushing blow of defeat was dealt out to fellow Cloister patrons last night as the mental giants of team ESSP scored bewildering 57 points easily crushing the nearest team by a margin of 17 and the weakest team by a margin of 25.

I was vaguely familiar with the concept because I believe Red Bull sponsors something similar in the states for marketing purposes. Basically the Flugtag is about the school's aeronautical engineers trying to design a nonpowered manned aircraft a glider let's say to be launched http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Netherlands/South-Holland/Delft/blog-9576.html Yesterday was the going away party for a guy named Gordon whose a cool Scottish bloke in our group.

This was my first time to Delft so I got there a little early to soak up the Great Market square which is a football sized field of cobblestone with ancient ornate churches at each endzone. I plan on going back someti http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Netherlands/South-Holland/Delft/blog-7795.html
