A trip to Nigtevecht.

Today was the day to explore Henny's hometown until we found her childhood home. We think we found it! We rode on the smallest public bus ever, with a very friendly and helpful driver. The day was sunny and the scenery beautiful and we all had so much fun walking along Vreelandseweg. After deciding on a house we took many photos, hoping that it was the right place. Henny is pretty confident that we found her dutch home.
After that was when the song and dance began. We spotted a Restaurant across the Vecht with a sign pointing to a row boat. We rang the number and the man told us we could just row across. What could go wrong? Eventually we made it thanks to Eloise's newly learned rowing skills! Thankfully she had some lessons in Argentina. We managed to laugh our way across in 2 trips, and had a lovely Italian lunch then had to row back again in front of a bigger audience.
We arrived back at Harderwijk to find a local celebration in progress. Today they were celebrating 80 years since the region was liberated by the Canadians. Stunt planes and army tanks on show. Beautiful sunset over the lake.En savoir plus
