They’re arriving back home today, so it’s already been a while since Phil and Neda were here. So nog finally you can find it on my blog. It’s already on theirs as well, but you can find the most funny picture here;

They arrived on monday in the afternoon. Phil had to be carefull while driving since he wasn’t used to all the bicycles ofcourse. In the evening we had dinner in the White Goose, one of our restaurants. You can find everything about that on Phil and Neda’s blog and I really didn’t make them write it. I’m thinking about forwarding that review to Michelin .

The next day we went to the Hoge Veluwe, which is a national park in the center of Holland. They have free bikes at every entrance of the park, so we took those since you just have to bike when being in the Netherlands. It was a beautiful day. We had a sunny lunch in the park, but later on, in the end of the afternoon, it started to rain. We got soaking wet on our way back to the car.

But it was The REAl Dutch Experience!

Afterwards we chilled at my place, having hot showers, tea and sweets. In the evening we went out for drinks and Phil and Neda participated in my weekly tuesday night’s activity; the Murphy’s quiznight. We arrived when round 7 was on, which is the music-round of the quiz. They played the first part of different TV-tunes and they really helped the team. Phil taught my friends some good Aussie-slang.

The next morning we had a hard time getting up, with all these short nights. But we made it to Amsterdam. We were planning to visit the Anne Frank house, but the line was about 400 meters long from where we could see it (maybe it was even longer around the corner). So we decided to skip it and went to the nine streets, a very nice part of Amsterdam. We also did a canal-boattour, had a stroll in the Red Light District and passed a zillion coffeeshops.

The next morning Phil and Neda left at 5.30 at my place so this was their two day’s experience of The Netherlands.
