Great day in Holland

Langedijk, Holland, Europe

I had an awesome day in the Netherlands. I was all over the place, but it was excellent! I had an awesome sleep at Jacquelien’s house, and then she was nice enough to give me a ride to the train station at Heerhugowaard to head into Amsterdam. I got into the city by about 10am and had a few hours to walk around the city. I’d been here before a few years ago, so today I just walked around and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

I got back to the train station at about 1:30pm and caught another train out to Almere Buiten. I got off the train and my friend Esther was there to meet me. It was the first time I have seen Esther since we met in Bali three years ago. We had a nice lunch at her house and sat in her garden catching up. It was a really nice afternoon, even though the rain came. It took about two hours to get back to Heerhugowaard and Jacquelien was there waiting for me when I arrived. It’s so nice having really nice friends to look after me while I’m travelling.

We went to Jacquelien’s parent’s house for dinner and had a great BBQ. I met Jacquelien’s younger sister Daniella, her older sister Marieke, and Marieke’s husband Peter. We played a board game that is only played here in this part of the Netherlands and Tim and I won. Jack said it was beginner’s luck, but I’ll take it! It was really good to get to know the whole family and we came back home to Jacquelien and Tim’s house at about 10pm. Jacquelien is working tomorrow morning and then we’re going to go off to Haarlem for the afternoon. I’m looking forward to seeing a place that I definitely wasn’t expecting to go.
