FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

The week started with me looking through my clothes prepare a list what to take along for my stay in Amsterdam at my son's house.

The next day two friends came by to enjoy our garden in which it was nice and cool while theirs was so hot that it was impossible to sit outside.

On Thursday then I left for Amsterdam. I first took the train to the Brussels' North station where the Bus for international travels have their parking. Very easy to find and not much to walk.



I had a sandwich and a drink and waited for the bus ! It was very busy at the North station and I saw buildings I had never seen before.

The bus was very comfortable and had wifi too.



When I saw canals and bicycles I knew that I was in the Netherlands ! Below right there is a special parking for thousands of bikes !  I think we were in Den Haag.

I arrived even a little earlier in Amsterdam there had been no traffic on the highway. Shortly after my arrival my son and Toby picked me up and we drove home.

There I met new family members two guinea pigs, and while we were eating outside they were running around in an outside cage.




My DIL had prepared a delicious supper, fresh raviolis filled with spinach and mozarella and a tomatoe sauce with lots of vegetables. As desert I had an ice cream !

We chatted a bit and then I went to bed and Toby too, I was rather tired after the long day !

Probably I can't answer comments as usual, lack of time !

HOLIDAYS IN AMSTERDAM

When you read this I will probably sit in the bus and travel to Amsterdam, where I have been invited to keep an eye on Grandson Toby. I can't say babysitting anymore, as he is now  more then 7 years old !

I rather suspect him to keep an eye on me !



I only hope that the weather will stay warm and sunny then we could go to the beach which is only 10 min walk away !

Mr. G thought I would leave him forever because my little suitcase was so heavy, but I had to take along for warm and cold weather ! Our weather here is always so moody ! During one night the temperature can drop by a half !

Next time I'll write from Amsterdam !
