These last few days...

...have been spent visiting family in Almelo, Zwolle, Den Ham and Dronten. So far the sights, sounds and tastes of Holland have been a mixture of the familiar and the foreign. Houses here seem to be either very modern...

...or quaintly old-fashioned:

We expected to see windmills...

...but this bit of Canadiana was a pleasant surprise:

My room:

Fitting decor for a bedroom in Zeewolde. Just over twenty years ago this whole area was seabed.

Seeing family has been nice, but now I'm ready to travel. In just under an hour we begin a week-long tour throught Germany, France and Belgium. To Heidelberg!

I won't be blogging until we return to Zeewolde on the 12th. 'Til then. Doe!
