Today's destination is Breda, about an hour from Den Haag. I met up with Maartje, in a cafe and ordered my lunch in Dutch, the language is becoming easier to understand, the town was wonderful and the people were once again so friendly. After a wonderful catch up with Maartje, I headed back to Den Haag to go to scheveningen. The beach of the Netherlands. It had a Santa Monica feel to it, but reminded me of the esplanade at Perth. I would love to return when the w...

I think I have spent over €200 on travel so far, only one train has...

I then caught up with Gilbert from Australia, turns out he is from Melbourne. He was such a intellect, very nice person, so we decided to travel around Maas...

So I spent the weekend in Eindhoven with Rob and his family. We Walked around the city and then went to the stadium. After that we went back to his house where I met his dad and uncle. I didn't realize that the Dutch do not speak English that often! We then went for a drive around the country side of Eindhoven which was wonderful. We went to where van gough was born in nenuin. We then stopped into see his grandmother house. She is so lovely, I really liked living...
