      Netherlands day 6,7,8

      10. April in den Niederlanden ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

      Over the last couple of days we’ve had a bit of time to rest so not as busy as usual.

      On day 6 we spent pretty much the whole day getting from Alphen aan de rijn to Ermelo where Marga and Kaase live. We got in at about 1pm after taking a few trains in the morning. We then went for a bike ride around town and called it a day.

      Yesterday, we started the morning at De Haar Castle, the interiors were so beautiful. In the gardens they have a little deer farm where we got some pics of the deer 😛. Then Marga and Kaase drove us to Utrecht, were we found a restaurant serving steak, which was a nice change from bread and cheese. In the afternoon Millie and I stopped into the tattoo parlour were we got a little tattoo to commemorate our trip that was personalised for us. Then dinner was gnocchi along the canals. Utrecht so far has probably been our favourite city to visit in the Netherlands.

      Today was another slow day, slept in and then went to the coffee shop at the train station. Where they surprisingly made good coffee which is sometimes difficult to find. This afternoon was ‘family day’ where we met a few more of Oma’s siblings and got to talk with Greet and Henk again :)

      Bruges to Bunnik

      4. September 2023 in den Niederlanden ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      When we arrived in Bruges, it was at the end of a very long journey. We were tired and really looking forward to reaching our hotel. But we still had to get there from the train station. It was “only” a kilometre along a flat route so we thought no big deal, we’ll walk. We didn’t realize, however, that the tiny wheels on our suitcases don’t work well on rough cobblestones. Well, Bruges is all cobblestones!

      So, last night we scouted out a better route from the hotel to the train station. It was a bit longer, but allowed us to avoid the really rough cobblestone sections where we had to carry our suitcases. We got to the station nice and early and found a little coffee bar where we had our morning coffee followed by bread and buns for breakfast.

      The train trip to Bunnik went quite smoothly and included the amazing, high speed Thalys train on the section from Antwerp to Rotterdam. Once in Utrecht we found a small grocer in the train station where we picked up a yoghurt granola fruit bowl, smoothie and a pack of cheese for lunch.

      It was a twenty minute bus ride and then a ten minute walk from the train station to the StayOK hotel where will be staying for the next four nights. After a few minutes to rest and relax, we went for a short walk in the woods near the hotel and then into the little town of Bunnik to buy dinner items at the AH grocer. We found an excellent packaged falafel salad big enough for the two of us. I made the mistake of buying a Karne Melk to go with it. Took one sip and into the garbage it went! I thought it was a low fat milk, but it tasted like a sour milk.

      We will be doing more shopping for meals because the cost of eating out is ridiculous! Basically, what we pay for a meal in dollars at home, we pay in Euros here. Which means that it is costing us 50% more. So, for example, at our hotel, they have fish and chips in the restaurant for 17 euros. That translates to over $25! We’ll not forgo meals in restaurants entirely, but we’re quite happy to make them ourselves as well when the opportunity presents itself.

      Castles and Mansions Bike Tour

      5. September 2023 in den Niederlanden ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

      After an all-you-can-eat breakfast at our Bunnik hotel, we rented bikes today. The hotel recommended The Castles and Mansions route. We thought it was a good one so I downloaded an app linked to the route, packed a lunch and away we went! It was supposed to be a 60 km circular route beginning and ending back at our hotel.

      We cycled the 80 km route with our heavy heavy cruiser bikes, boasting saddles wide enough for an elephants behind and a frame strong enough to support one, in about seven hours. We did not race the course, snapping photos along the way and making pit stops for beverages and to eat our lunch. With the extra 20 km of unplanned side trips it took us about 7 hrs. It was a very enjoyable ride!

      We got home in time to relax, shower and eat a packaged dinner we had picked up at the AH in Bunnik on our bike tour. We each had a beverage after dinner and played some cards at a table in the outdoor eating area of our hotel and then retired to our room feeling a bit sore after the days ride.

      Utrecht - Tag 2

      16. April in den Niederlanden ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      In der Nacht hatte es heftig geregnet und gestürmt und auch in der Früh war es noch grau in grau und es regnete immer wieder. Gegen halb 11 hörte der Regen endlich auf und die Sonne zeigte sich.

      Also gings wieder los in die schöne Stadt. Diesmal auf einer etwas anderen Route und es gab immer wieder tolle Blicke und Eindrücke. Die Wanderung wurde etwas länger und wir haben viele schöne Häuser und interessante Orte gesehen. Utrecht, auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert!

      Utrecht - Tag 1

      15. April in den Niederlanden ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

      Nach teilweise heftiger Sturm und Regenfahrt sind wir am Nachmittag am "Budget" Campingplatz in Utrecht angekommen. Zunächst waren wir uns nicht wirklich sicher, ob wir bleiben wollen, denn eigentlich sind wir auf einer großen Baustelle angekommen. An der Rezeption entschuldigte sich der Mitarbeiter auch mehr oder weniger für die aktuelle Situation, aber da wir ja die Stadt anschauen wollten, sind wir dann doch geblieben.

      Wie immer waren wir aber schnell "installiert" und tatsächlich ließ sich sogar bald die Sonne sehen. Da wir noch Brot brauchten, machten wir uns auf den Weg Richtung Stadt, dort sollten einige Läden zu finden sein. Und wir fanden auch bald einen Supermarkt, aber da es noch nicht so spät war und wir noch Zeit hatten, liefen wir weiter bis ins Zentrum.

      Dort erwischte uns dann ein Hagel- Graupelschauer und die einzige Rettung war ein kleines Pils in einer Kneipe mit Überdachung und Wärmestrahlern.. Der Spuk war bald vorbei und wir konnten wieder trocken zurück an unseren Campingplatz laufen.

      Solo trip to Utrecht

      23. April in den Niederlanden ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

      Our place was a little late arriving in London, but that was ok as it meant I only had 2 hours to wait for my connecting flight.

      When we boarded the plane we needed to go by bus or to the tarmac to get to the place, and it was absolutely freezing!! And when landing and taking off I could not see much through ask the dog, yet did manage to see a red double decker bus.

      The yep was really sorry, picky about 1.5 good just enough time to go up, get a snack then come back down.

      So then going through customs was super easy but the worst was getting my bag. EASY. My bag was there as soon as I went to the baggage area.

      So now I needed to navigate my way to Utrecht. It is so easy because everyone speaks perfect English. I found the train station and bought my ticket, then the train came soon after.

      The trains are so nice, and was travelling at 141km/h.i didn't see much of the country side as I was constantly watching the map so as not to miss my stop, but I did see my first windmill.

      Utrecht was a big train station and I just used Google maps to find the 10 Min walk to the hostel.

      This place is beautiful. The streets are lined with cobblestone, they sure more bikes then cars on the road, actually they're are basically no vehicles besides the police and buses that I have past.

      I found the hostel but cannot check in until 3, so found a Cafe and enjoyed the sun and a coffee. I did a bit more exploring while I waited to get in the room, not venturing to fat for fear of getting lost.

      Locked my bag at the hostel so I didn't need to be carrying that to. Will definitely need to get my puffer jacket out as the air is so brisk.

      Sheet wondering around for a bit I went neck and checked into the hostel. It is cute. Clean and tidy with 2 bunks. I made the need then attempted to sleep.

      I did eventually get a couple of hours sleep before I walked back to the railway station to meet Di and Julie.

      I was so happy to see them, tears flowing a plenty. We walked back to the hostel then spent the evening catching up at the bar at the hostel.

      Suddenly it was midnight and we had to leave the bar and get to bed. Sight seeing tomorrow.

      Utrecht

      7. Juni 2022 in den Niederlanden ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Unsere Reise führt uns heute nach Utrecht, einer kleinen Studentenstadt die auch 'Das kleine Amsterdam' genannt wird. Hier ist es nicht ganz so hektisch wie in einer Großstadt, und es wirkt eher wie ein kleiner Vorort. Entlang der Oudegracht kann man wunderbar entlangschlendern, und an beiden Seiten des Ufers findet man eine Vielzahl an Bars und Restaurants die direkt am Wasser gelegen sind.
      In einem 'Cheese & More' machen wir halt und probieren uns einmal durchs ganze Sortiment, begleitet von einem Verkäufer der uns mit seiner entspannten und freundlichen Art all unsere Fragen beantwortet. Im Großen und Ganzen finde ich die Menschen hier sehr aufgeschlossen und hilfsbereit. Ein paar Schritte weiter entdecken wir eine Fahrradgarage. Hier kann man seinen fahrbaren Untersatz von wenigen Stunden bis hin zu mehreren Tagen für einen günstigen Preis parken. Zudem werden noch kostenlose Ladestationen für E-Bikes, Reparaturservices und eine kleine Auswahl an Zubehör angeboten. Ich bin begeistert, und es bietet schon mal einen kleinen Einblick in eine mögliche autofreie Zukunft. Selbst im Supermarkt ist das Bezahlen an Selbstbedienungskassen schon salonfähig geworden. So kann man sich bereits am Eingang einfach einen Scanner schnappen und während dem Einkauf bereits die Ware scannen, um dann am Ende mit der Übertragung der Daten den Bezahlvorgang zu beschleunigen. Nur seinen Bon darf man nicht vergessen, der öffnet einen die Tür nach draußen indem man ihn scannt.

      A day of travel

      22. April in den Niederlanden ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      After very little sleep last night I went to visit Dad then he came for a ride with me on the train. He got off at Parramatta, and here began my solo journey.

      Between tears, I got to the airport and found it easy to check in. The first leg of my journey was 7 hours to Singapore. I paid for a window seat and was hoping to not have anyone beside me, but the plane was full.

      The flight was long but I just watched movies on the screen and the time went quick. The stop over at Singapore was only 2 hours. I bought a book, went for a bit of a walk then just waited at the gate.

      When back on the plane the same 2 people were beside me. This was a 14 hour flight and the problem with being next to the window is that it is hard to get out to stretch your legs, so I say there for 14 hours!

      I could not sleep, possibly only got 3 hours in total, then watched movie and read the book I bought in Singapore.

      Then eventually arrived in London
