European holiday...our last day

Our very last day, and a lazy sleep in for all of us. Lily had a horse riding lesson, so she and Liz went off to that. TRO and Liz went to Leiden a little later, and I simply sat around reading, blogging, and finishing the knitted bear I had started for Lily. With much difficulty, I finally finished it, and she named it GBJ...grey bear junior.

Here he is with his cousin, BBJ...brown bear junior. I knitted that one for Aysha about five years ago, and he goes almost everywhere with her.




Close to dinner time, TRO opened the genuine French champagne that he had bought in Versailles. It was absolutely awful, so it finished up down the sink.




We went out for dinner to a nice Italian restaurant near the Winkelhof, where the two chefs were Italian and Egyptian. The food was delicious, and JJ and Aysha wizzed off to the Winkelhof and bought some ice cream for us to have for dessert at home.







This ice cream has waffles and syrup through it, it was extremely tasty.




I set up the camera and took some family pics, which I can't put here as JJ does not want to be on the internet :)

Case packing tonight, and early tomorrow it will be farewell to the Netherlands once again, and the long trek home to the heat and bush fires.

Location:Leiderdorp,The Netherlands

    Hope your journey is smooth and that by the time you get home the heat and fire threat is over . You are bringing back so many amazing memories ( except the French champagne one - tho I guess that is amazing too in that it wasn't so tasty :) )
