holiday!

the netherlands was great.

the first day was beautiful. nice and sunny. gerry dropped me off at my host-family's house and i spent the next few days there, while gerry went to utrecht.

we went shopping and biking. played games, read a lot. slept even more.

on wednesday i met up with gerry and we had a lovely dinner by the canal. thursday i did a boat tour of utrecht, and got blisters from all the walking around. then we met up with joyce and ingrid for dinner and gelato.

friday i got to go to ikea with mijke, and we enjoyed a €1 breakfast and some shopping. i got lots of slippers and stuff for the house.

then we spent a bit of time in amsterdam and somehow resisted patat met (french fries and mayo).
