pics, pics and more pics

Well after being up for almost 24 hours we arrived in Sydney, what a nice clean city compared to Bangkok. Thanks to the shopping of me and the VISA , we are staying again in a nice hotel. And even better, just explored a bit and found a Starbucks right across from the hotel !!!! Jippie, no more Thai brew !!!!
To-morrow will be the house on wheels for 2.5 weeks and after that we will come back here again.

Hereby some pics from the last couple of days, enjoy. Thanks everybody for writing us, Meindert and Sabien loved getting the messages.

Love Mir

Happy Remmert
Well, as he wrote, within 10 Min he was in the gym, getting rid of some saved energy

Cool ???????
weather forecast Feb 13/07 Bangkok Hotel, obviously 22C is cool for them, it was great for us.

Laundry ?
I don't think Thai people have a dryer, this is how they dry their laundry. Doesn't matter where they live, always laundry hanging outside the door. This was the view when we took a boat trip on Chao-Pra-Yha river in Bangkok

Traffic on the river
This is how a lot of people travel in Bangkok, instead of the car, they take the boat and/or bus/skytrain.

Schoolkids
As far as we have seen, almost all the kids at school wear uniforms, Kirsten was happy we don;t have that at Cheam, so she doesn't have to wear a skirt !!! Although she had too when entering the Gran Palace

Kirsten in skirt
Well here we are at the Gran Palace, and look we got Kirsten in a skirt !!!! Oh so happy, and it was very hot !!! Meindert had to "borrow' long pants

Gran Palace
The Gran Palace was unbelievable!!! So many little details.

Modern Monk
We caught this monk, sitting in the sun dialing on his cell. Almost everybody, maybe even everybody here has a cell phone..... speeddial to Buddha ???

Safe in Thailand
Well as you can see, Marc, guards enough, we were safe in Thailand

Dentures anyone ???
As we walked by a streetmarket, we came across aguy who sold old /2nd hand dentures............

Bridge Kanchanburi
This is part of the railway that was built in 1942-1943 by prisoners held by the Japanese people. It was very impressive. Meindrt is standing by one of the bombs that fell there during the war

At the Tiger Temple
One of the original monks walks his pet..........

New pet ??????
Sabien being the only blond younger girl at the Tiger Temple, got the special treatment adn got to be with almost all the tigers, and she was NOT scared

and papa Remmert too.....
Yep, I got pictures too from me with a tiger, just got a bit boring.....

Hey boys watch out .........
Kirsten training for Thai boxing ????? or is it for soccer, shooting penalties???????

Very Inspiring
Hi Guys – it’s been great to follow your family adventure. I certainly hope we will be able to do something similar in the future. Have a great time in OZ (I think I arrive in Sydney a few days after you leave) it is certainly the best place to live in the world… after Canada of course! Love Rupert, Lu, Lottie & Max.

great pictures! Thailand looked great but I'm sure you're ready for a little more luxury eh Miriam? Kids...there was a big road hockey game going on yesterday but not the same without the Dutchies! Continue to enjoy your time away, as reality is only a month away. Everything is going well here, Lex's team should hopefully make it to the provincials if their playoffs go o.k. Baby Brett turned 18 yesterday! How did that happen? Lauren has been busy doing all of her volunteer work, so we are all keeping busy. Have a wonderful time in Australia. See you soon. Lucille

Great job with the pics Miriam. I'm impressed! Australia looks good so far eh? Enjoy the road time. Maybe you'll have some experiences like the Griswald family vacations? Remert = Chevy Chase? Oh boy. Have fun.

Mooi die tijger
Zit net effe met Mel de foto's te kijken. Leuk joh, al die bootjes en die tijger. Vond je dat niet eng?? En tussen al dat rondkijken toch nog tijd vinden om te exercizen, knap . Hebben jullie al wat lekkre thaise recepten weten te bemachytigen?? Peet zijn favorite eten op het moment, maar jullie willen misschien een bordje stamppot zo langzamer hand misschien. He joh, geniet er lekker van het begint alweer bijna op te schieten. Tijd vliegt verschrikkelijk hard tegen woordig. Ik geloof dat jullie nu in Australie zitten maar onze email stuurt niet zo vlug door. Veel plezier nog, Doei Margot
