We intended to spend our last full day here well. And we did. Our visit to Oirschot yesterday made us like this town and we took my sisters Toni and Annemie back there for lunch today. It was a bit of an adventure to get everyone into our little car, since both my sisters have issues with their legs, but that effort was overcome.

The Gelagkamer, meaning taproom, looked busiest yesterday, so we figured it would be a good place to go. It turned out to be a good choice. The uitsmijters, spicy chicken and goat cheese salad were good choices for our lunch meals at very reasonable prices. It was a fitting occasion to say goodbye until a return visit maybe a few years from now!

Our AirBnb hosts had previously invited to a “last supper” of mussels and other dishes and it was great to have the opportunity to get to know them better. I don’t believe regular AirBnb hosts would do this and it was surely much appreciated and demonstrates again the phenomenal hospitality we have been experiencing here. Thanks Ooks and Richte!

I will be posting separately our top 20 impressions of the Netherlands!
