Settling in the Suburbs

Hello all

Hope everyone is good and still enjoying the good sunny weather there. Here it is also getting warmer, it has come out of the negatives and is on average 10 degrees.

The past 2 weeks have been busy. From Apeldoorn I went to Zwolle to visit the Awesome Durk lol!!
There it is also a smaller city. He lives in an apartment with a room mate and his girlfriend also just moved in. Went to walk around the town for a tour. We ended up going for dinner with friends at the Pizzaria and then some good old pool and beer lol. Thursday we just chilled and Friday it was time for another Boo concert. We took the train to Armhem, where the concert was being held, and met up with Tom and some friends. There was a band that was before them that has to be mentioned as it was the most random, strange and funniest thing ever. Here is a youtube video of them and you can decide for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07Bz7VhC_w8
After that we went to a friends apartment and kept the party going. It went a bit late and the next day Durk only woke up at 4pm. We then left to go back to Zwolle and when we got to the train station they were doing scheduled maintainance on the track so we had to take a nice long detour... 2 hours later lol.

Sunday it was time to leave again and come to the smaller town of Hardenberg to Mr Geert! He lives in his family home with 2 of his brothers and 1 of his sisters. It is a really nice house, out in the more farm land area. Here we are really close to the German border. Here because of the Schengen agreement, it is really easy to go between those countries, there is no real border control. Today I drove for the second time to a market in one of the towns close by. We just walked around and looked but when I found a cheese stall I had to buy some cheese again lol. On the way back I crossed into Germany and took that way home lol. Its basically like you cross the bridge or pass a sign and you in the next counry... that easy!

Tomorrow we might go more into Germany to a town or two close to us. On Friday Geert is off so we will be going to Amsterdam!! :) Saturdat looks like Mr Niek, who I will be visiting next, is organising a party with all the Dutch guys and me, which will be nice and fun!!

For the rest still planning things and making plans for the tour.

So hope the rest of the week is good!!
Chat soon!
