All good things are coming to an end. So was this terrific trip to Europe. The last few days we spent visiting family and friends. Not that many left. We made a quick trip to Wormer and Jisp, not far away from Amsterdam. Jisp is a tiny, but beautiful little place, ringed by lots of water. It makes a fantastic place to take photos. In Wormer close to Jisp we visited friends. We had not seen them for a long time, that makes it nice to talk about old times over a nice cup of coffee. Pity, some nice people were not there anymore. In Holland places are so close together, we could combine this trip with a visit to Haarlem, where we spent our younger years. Memories came back to you while walking through this very old city, that has houses from the years 1200 and older. The streets that are so small, cars are not possible to drive there. Just push bikes and pedestrians. We had to tear ourselves away,for the clock kept ticking. The last night we stayed in Hoofddorp where we had to leave our car that had served us so well during the last three month

through Europe. A shuttle bus took us to the Airport. Now we really realised that the end of this magnificent holiday was near. In Kuala Lumpur we had a stop over, that was also the last Hotel room of the trip. The next one was our own bedroom. It was also the end of a marvelous holiday. We had a terrific time, while visiting nice and historic countries. We like to thank the many followers that read our blogs and saw the many pictures so they could see where we were and what we did. Bye for now and maybe till a next trip, Liz & Allan.
