The moment the bus rounded the corner and the beaches came into view, I was enchanted by the clear blue sea and it was calling to me. I also saw a great sign that said, “Don’t Splash Your Trash”. Meaning do not throw your litter in the water. We disembarked and went in search of …

Woke up a bit late today but that is fine, as we have a long day ahead of us, as far as time goes. We enjoyed our room coffee then walked to our neighborhood small market for breakfast items; sat on a bench under the trees on Boulevard Wagram to eat fruit and other goodies; …

We got up this morning, rearing to go to Paris. Jos drove as they wanted to go too after not having been in the City of Lights for a couple of years. I have to say the trip through Belgium and Northern France was very nerve-wracking, since it was raining and of course other drivers …

Before our 2-day trip to Zeeland we were sleeping on blow up mattresses in Jos’s stunning gallery, but Han was having quite a difficult time bending his meniscus torn knee, getting up off the floor. So when we arrived back from visiting Carly in Middleburg on Wednesday afternoon, Ria had a wonderful surprise for Han in …

We slept in very late after our overly eventful day yesterday. Took the train to Amsterdam and my vocabulary is not large enough to describe this city or even if I “should” describe it all. lol My simple definition is, “Spectacularly Trashy!” I think more than anything I loved seeing with my owns eyes the …

Texel was actually one of the few places I specifically asked to visit in Europe. I read about it in Coastal Living Magazine and it sounded just the place I would want to see. I was right because I sure know me. : ) Most our time was spent riding around exploring every road we …

Texel is the largest of the Dutch Wadden Islands and caught our eye when preparing for this trip. On the first day of our trip to the island, we went down (Han’s) memory lane in a few towns and did sightseeing from the car. Our first stopover was in Amersfoort, a old town near the …
