Hallo!
We are now in the Netherlands staying with Wilma and Gerard and having a great time. FINALLY driving is back on the right hand side of the road. We have to admit that this is the coldest weather we have experienced and our sweaters are getting some good use. Wilma has taken us out to the Canadian War Cemetry in Holten to pay our respects and also to the memorial of the concentration camp Westerbork. They were very touching sights and both makes you appreciate the lives we live. Some of the soldiers were under the age we are now! Brave souls.
For dinner tonight we had Dutch "chinese food" it tastes very different than at home but it is delicious. There is a thing called "peanut sauce"which is pretty tasty. After dinner we learned more about farming by watching Gerard and Wilma at work moving the huge bulls from one barn to another and loading a few others that were ready for the butchers.
Tomorrow we are Berlin bound until Friday! Super excited to explore Berlin and see the fallen wall and the beautiful city. We are a little nervous about the language barrier but are hoping we can tough it out!
Anyways time to pack and head to bed
Welterusten
