A hi from the south of France

Here we are enjoying a nice, often sunny back terras with occasional trips a bit further afield like the local abbey, St. Emilion and, tomorrow, Spain. KK is amassing countries this trip: the Netherlands; Belgium (camping), Germany (sandwich), France (visiting my parents) and Spain for some tapas.......

Xenne is doing great, he,s got a whole new, huge backyard to play in. Of course there are many places he's not allowed to go and that is exactly where he would love to go most... Luckily there is much that distracts him like the mini-pool, the real pool (when we are in it too obviously), the most recent addition ( a present from some acquaintances here) an aircastle with a slide of sorts and a baby-pool.

As i'm trying to write this I actually am stuck. There is so much to write and so little time to do so. Where do I start. Do I start at all? I think i will be my usual lazy self and abandon the real info for a later date.... I know I know you don't think there'll ever be that date. Maybe. But now i need to book our hotel in Bangkok since i don't fancy dragging our tired selfs, Xenne, and all our stuff through Bangkok in search of a hotel for 2 nights. So first things first....

Some pictures of our trip to the Netherlands

Well, we haven't finished with the holiday yet but since i couldn't sleep this morning it'll be an excellent opportunity to post a bit here....

A fantastic view from the St. Catharine church tower over Brielle.

Kyaw Kyaw at the mill in Brielle.






At the nieuwe Maasvlakte where we'd seen how they are claiming new land from the sea after which we went to the beach.


Xenne and his great grandma.


Here he shows her how he knows head-shoulders-knees-and-toes.....


Xenne and Kyaw Kyaw eating a sandwhich with real german sausage in Germany....


KK showing the entry sign for The Netherlands....


At Castle Te Haar in Haarzuilen.

Time flies when you have fun

Another week (and a bit) have passed and we've spend time in Soest and Zoetermeer and The Hague. And we've visited Scheveningen en Amsterdam (which KK loved). So we're all a wee bit tired but we have a few more busy days ahead of us but then Xenne will get his vaccination shots and we'll 'relax' for a few days to give him time to be sick of that if he needs to be.

There is so much to write that i don't know where to begin so i give up before i start.....
