a bit of history.. (we went to a museum today, that really got to the roots of Holland) DAY THIRTEEN AND FOURTEEN: With an empty day ahead of us, and mum refusing to spend it lounging around, so we jumped into the car for a road trip to Enkhuizen. Enkhuizen is on a big lake, so it's surrounded by water the village itself is quite pretty and very old fashioned. So it makes sense that Enhuizen itself has a museum. We went there with the initial plan to just look around and see all the canals and boats. The boats varied from row boats all the way to house boats, so the variety was insane and they were all so detailed and colourful it was gorgeous. The day was beautiful as well, so the atmosphere and ... read more

KICKING BACK AND RELAXING!.. (we'd just come back from France the day before, so we all just intended on resting the legs today) DAY TWELVE: Today i woke up with the intention to do absolutely nothing, besides eating and lounging around. And that's exactly how my morning began to pan out. My cousins uncle and aunt left to go to an amusement park to celebrate a birthday which meant that we also had the house to ourselves. We said goodbye to them in the morning and wished them all luck on their mini holiday then went back to lounging around. At about 11:30 my uncle rang the home phone and mum answered. It was my uncle! he was planning on going to a race in Germany with the minibikes, but the owner of the track lost ... read more

An occasion for celebration!.. (today, was mums birthday so we had a big day planned ahead for her!..) DAY FIVE: It's the 6th of June and we're all celebrating mum's birthday. We've hung flagged decorations around the house just to make it look a little bit more festive, and we'd planned to have a dinner party in the evening with mums family and dads family joining the occasion. Our day started with a kiss and a cuddle for mum, but congratulating people for birthdays is a little different here than in Australia.. You see here you congratulate the person who's birthday it is, and you congratulate the kids for it being their mothers birthday and you congratulate any siblings for it being their sister/brothers birthday. So really nearly the entire family gets congratulated for one birthday. ... read more

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DUTCH! (note to the readers, this isn't just a blog on locations and experience, it's a story too.. think of it a little like a diary. ) THE FLIGHT AND DAY ONE: When does the holiday start? Is it the second you drive out of the driveway? Is that the beginning? Or is it as soon as you touch down at your destination and the dreaded flight is over?.. The flight we boarded was a long 8 hour stretch to Kuala Lumpur where we would sit and wait 2 hours before we would board the last leg that was a long 12 hour flight all the way to Amsterdam. The conditions in Malaysia where just crazy, we landed at 11:00pm with a casual weather temperature of 29 degrees, it ... read more
