We had some tropical days staying with Jola & Hugo, Liz brother. Been very hot and for the people in Holland not being used to that is that tiresome. Also there is in most houses no air condition. We did and saw some interesting things these last few days. Liz brother had to be in Gouda, we had never been there before so we made it an outing to visit this place. About 45 minutes drive, not an enormous.trip and goes quick going over the freeway. It is hard to find parking anywhere in Holland special in these places often visited by Tourists. But we did but you can only pay by card due to thieving. Apparently those parking meters were robbed so no more cash money. So many interesting things to see walking through the small streets. We were told it has an very nice Town hall as well as what they call De Waag, the place where the weight the cheese. Indeed they were exceptional buildings.You are not the only one interested so as always you have to wait your turn. We had a coffee stop that we also used as lunch. Liz and I had two slices of

bread with croquets. Can't say they were super but the coffee was nice. Walking back to the car we passed a photo genic places that showed bridges over small waterways. We arrived back home at 5 p.m. just in time for tea. We now leave for France. That will be the next blog.
