The best thing about about the Netherlands is the weather. At least for us, it is...after weeks of more than 100 degrees (= around 40 Celsius) it's a relief to walk outside without feeling the sweat run down your back. The downside: we're no longer in the country of Starbucks' Java Choc frap (no whip). No more yellow cabs (are all the drivers suicidal?!). No more 'tall, large, grande' (instead of 'small, medium, large'). No more 'Hiiiii...how are you?'. No more young women, wearing flip flops, with high pitched, very loud, nasal voices, talking from behind their Mojito. No more 'What's your opinion about our country?'. No more excellent Mexican food. No more endless highways, surrounded by desert.
More than 11.000 kilometers of driving...we must be crazy. I immediately unpacked my (overweight) suitcase when I got home. Another relief. Some hotel rooms (NY!) were so small we were almost unable to walk around, having the suitcases on the ground and the guitars stowed in a corner.
Real life is waiting. Everything I forget to tell you about our trip might appear on this website...or let's just talk again :-)
