WEEKEND REVIEW JUNE 6

After some shopping in morning, I sat the whole afternoon in our garden together with my computer.

My neighbor's daughter had invited friends for a birthday barbecue in the evening and she invited me too.



When I arrived three Harley Davidson were standing in front of the house.



We posed in front of a delicious looking barbecue.



When everything was eaten up they took selfies with the birthday cakes, and we had a lot of fun.

On Sunday I started my first working day as a volunteer tourist guide for the Waterloo battle bicentenary.



I had to answer the phone for German, English and Italian tourists. The vest I have only to wear outside. On the three pins, the languages I speak are written. To answer the phone was not very difficult, mostly they wanted to know if there are still entrance tickets, but for all the three re-enactments all 118.00 tickets were sold. Tourists from around 60 countries are expected. Some of them also asked if it is suitable for children under 10, but they are not allowed, the battle is too frightening for them.



and this is my temporary "office" the Waterloo Tourist center. Just opposite of the building is the Wellington museum.

In the afternoon my friend Chantal came over for a coffee, and I told her all about my first day.
