Last day in Holland

we went to Naaldwijk

always nice here

AH grocery stores were hacked, so some empty shelves

next stop, the beach

a favourite place

so many more people in the Netherlands now have a motorhome

but some of the campgrounds are very boring

drive past the ferry to the UK

last evening, play games

drive to Schophol, so many birds in the air close to the airport

dropped of our rental, we really like the car 

a Toyota Carola

ready to go home

the trees around Toronto were at peak beauty

 

Sunday

we had a quick visit with my mom again

Then a get together with cousins

It was loud and very fun

most came by bike

on Monday we had coffee with my mom 

goodbye!

 

Family

we visited with family

we took some pictures

glad we had time to see each other

the olive tree has actually olives,

Holland had a super nice summer

my high school

how we can walk to church

Bike ride

we went for a bike ride 

with Arjo and Monique

close to den Haag

and back beside the beach

it wasn't beach weather

it started to rain and we went for coffee

locked the bikes very securely

walked over the market

back to the Lier, more rain

and a nice meal

 

Pieterpad day 4 De Pol to Zelhem

we started at the Pol

sun through the trees

a pretty walk

to our first stop

Kasteel Slangenburg

another nice Castle

we were going to meet Ans here

surprise!! Tante Jo also came

and Bennie

we went inside to have a coffee

later people started to sit outside

Ans took a few pictures

and we continued our hike

we met quite a few others that were hiking the same long distance path

between pastures

and trees, we hiked on

soon we got to Zelhem

 

Castle Vorden

after eating something at the Bosloods I walked through the gate

and was suddenly at an inner gate from the castle

looking back towards the restaurant

it was possible to walk around the castle

water around it

and a bridge towards it

on both sides of the bridge were statues

the bridge

the other statue

almost around
