This morning after a great breakfast of cheese, halgalslagh (chocolate hail), and fruit we were ready to go to dalft. This is the town where they make royal dalft blue, china that is really very famous for it's design. Instead of going right there we first went to the farm where the Kester's grew up. It has now been transformed into a petting zoo and restaurant. It was really neat for ome Audry to tell us about it and tell us storys. At the petting zoo I saw th...

So of course the day we are leaving Amsterdam it's beautiful and sunny. After dropping Kaylena off at the train we hopped on a train if our own and headed to Rosendal. We arrived at the train station in Rosendal and were welcomed by the warm/ goofy smile of ome Audry. We then drove to their place and got settled before heading back to the train station to rent some bikes.

For one it was a lot bigger then I pictured, this does not take away from the struggle or difficulty it must have been to...

Originally we were going to get the train from Brussels to Amsterdam but after last nights adventures we inured it would probably be nice for a bit of a sleep to recover. So we got the train at around 1030 but not before stopping to get some belgim chocolates for our Dutch relatives and picking me up some cough medicin since I have had this awful cough for like 2 weeks now. Uncle Moke helped us get everything and then brought us to the train station. When we got...
