i'm now coming up to the end of my contract...and my Schengen visa here in NL...i'm not really sure what's next...options = UK to Guatemala to UK, UK, India, Australia, Singapore or more time in NL...this will all get sorted, one way or the other, or the other in less than 3 weeks...
since my last post, my middle bro Benny, his wife Louise and my 6 month old niece Poppy Mae came for a visit over the UK Bank Holiday weekend...we spent some good time in my flat here in The Hague...a great day in Amsterdam with the highlight the Van Gogh museum - with around a third of his original works and great info on his life and contemporaries...with a brilliant research program which is uncovering more and more info on his life
since then there's been some a heap of work...but some good times with people from the project - a load of Aussies - Ash from Melbourne, Mary from Adelaide...then the locals - Serafine and Melajnia from Belgium, Dirk from Germany, Charl from South Africa...most of them are in the previous post from the Limoncello session
Serafine and I have had a few sessions swimming in the North Sea...i didn't realise when i agreed to go swimming that she's an ex Belgian national champ, with a great tan...next to the fluouresent white Aussie, it's pretty funny...and Serafine dropped me in Gent last weekend, on her way out to Tunisia. Gent's a beautiful city in Belgium, some amazing buildings and such a cozy atmosphere...the weather was turning - good enough to have some good strolls round the city, but cool enough for cozy evening beers in some great old pubs...one i went into was almost completely dark - not sure if the power was out or they were aiming for ambience - it was nice either way :)
the train back to Den Haag, via Antwerp and Rotterdam is great...for someone who loves cities it's nice to spend time or pass by some of these great European ones...
now, back in Den Haag, working...with 3 weeks til my visa expires and wondering where my next stop will be :)
