A day out in the Netherlands

Dutch houses

Up the windmill - Netherlands

On the road again... Netherlands

We slipped into the Netherlands for a couple of days to visit an old friend of Tanja's, and her family. They have a spectacularly beautiful house as you can see above. Also a pic of our car loaded up, and another couple of a miniature village we visited in The Hague.

Stockenhausen

We stopped to visit Tanja's cousin Daniel and family in Stockenhausen, near Karlsruhe. The kids met their second cousins for the first time and we were treated to a delicious BBQ dinner. It stays daylight until about 9.30pm.

Switzerland

Together with the Wises we popped into Switzerland very briefly - just for conv. Not so many photos to share from those days. But as always, the Swiss scenery was beautiful. Fantastic summer weather continues to follow us! We haven't had to get any jackets out at all so far!

Baden-Baden - 3

Beautiful European gardens, sunny weather, and a picnic with our friends the Wises. Kelvin showed Max how to attach a rose bush thorn to his nose.

Baden-Baden 2

A couple more of the beautiful Baden-Baden. The sign is for a playground and reads: "Playground for children under 14 years. Midday rest from 1pm-3pm, and no playing after 8pm." We broke the rules and played there at 2.30pm one day.

Baden-Baden

We had 4 nights in the Southern Germany spa town called Baden-Baden. We rented a small apartment that had a great location.

Berry season

Summer is berry season. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, cherries. All sweet, juicy and delicious!

Lego Land - 3

The mini Lego cities were particularly good.
