Happy Birthday for July 12th Geoff, I wish I could be there with you to celebrate but I know you will have a fantastic day! It's great to keep up to date with all your travels and I really can't wait until I see you in September, 10 weeks to go :) Eleisha, Luke, Jon, Mum and Dad also send their Birthday wishes. Missing you lots and lots, take care, love Rach xoxoxox (Hi to Jade and Jarrod also).

Finally got the computer to work so I can now read up on all that you have been up to!! Dad says it must be extremely hot over there and it is good to see you are keeping your fluid intake up, although it always seems to be a beer or alchoholic beverage in your hand. Sounds like you are having a heap of fun.

Hey Jade, just thought I'd drop you a message as it is a "shocker" of a day here (it's a whole 10 degrees and raining!!!) and I'm stuck inside going crazy! Sure you guys don't miss it at all. I have to say Jade that I am missing seeing your cheery face. I had to go to the Commonwealth bank in Mt Waverley the other day, and I kept looking for you. Banking just isn't the same, I may have to change banks to avoid the constant reminder of your absense (Ha! ha!). Sounds like you guys are continuing to have a great trip, look forward to hearing from you again soon. Nicole ox

Hey all,
We arrived in Holland on Saturday after about 5-6 hours of travelling, we are staying with (and getting very spoilt by) Aunty Ink and Oma Cas.
We are staying about 20-30km north-west of Amsterdam in a town called Castricum. Its a really nice place and we have had a chance to meet some of our relos.
We venutred into Amsterdam for the day and are heading there again tom, its about 20-25 mins by train.
We have sampled some of what Holland is renowned for, Heiniken, Amstel, Cheese, Windmills, the redlight disrict (althought didnt sample anything there) and of course the coffee shops.
Had a wonderful time, we are here for another week or so and are currently planning our next leg of our tour at the moment. We are trying to get more photos up so they are not far away.
We will have further updates shortly.
Until then,
Geoff.

P.S Can someone please send Jade an email so she stops winging!!

You know that I never would take up smoking Kasey, I nearly died just putting that 1 in my mouth to take the photo. We are in Holland now for a couple of weeks and it is really nice. Amsterdam is different to say the least, and are looking forward to going out with Geoffs cousins this weekend, and will let you know how it was soon. For now though, have fun at work everyone. Hehe. Cheers!

Hey Nicole and Co,
How is the school holidays going?
We are in Holland and it is just like being at Nanna and Opa's. When I was in Brugge I did try 1 piece of White Chocolate, I didn't mind it however, I haven't had anymore since. It just doesn't really interest me. Miss you and keep the messages coming!!
love jade

Hey all,

Geoff, Jarrod and I are all in Holland, getting spoilt by Aunty Ink. We arrived on Saturday and met most the family, sat and sun.
On Sunday afternoon we went down to the local pub with Wayne and Michella, and yes Erin we are drinkin Bessa up.
On Monday we went to Amsterdam and met up with Jenny, Paul and another couple Jason and Lauren who we met on the train to Holland, there from Melbourne also.
Yestorday Oma Cass and Aunty Ink took us to Mini Holland about an hour and a half away. Geoff, Jarrod and I then cooked a beautiful dinner for Aunty Ink and Oma Cass, a beutiful aussie BBQ.
Today the 3 of us borred bikes of the family, and went for a big 3hr bike ride, to the beach it as so lovely however we all have very sore backsides. So we are now catching up on all your fantastic emails!!
Steph and Karina the blow dryer is in my wardrobe, above were my make-up sat. I can only image how upstairs looks now that I am here. Miss you!
Thanks Aunty Di for the lovely message and we miss you too. We are planning on catching up with Erwin around the end of July, so the timing is perfect. Thankyou for the email address we will send him a message now. Tell Lia that I miss her and tell her to come over for the Christmas Holidays!!!!!!
Mum if you dont have anything to do you can always come over and do our washing and cooking here. Miss you!
Well talk to you all soon and thanks for the lovely messages!
