Hallo van Nederland (hello from Holland)

We have arrived! … Yesterday!

After a horribly long flight from Singapore to Germany, a connecting flight to Amsterdam and then almost 3 hours worth of navigating a somewhat confusing public transport system (not just confusing because it was all in Dutch) we finally arrived at Elkys grandmas house in Kapelle, a lovely little village in southern holland.

Being absolutely wasted after so much travel, we didn’t do much and really just ate then slept.
It’s weird here though, coming from an Australian winter, because it really doesn’t get dark here at all…at least not until around 11pm or so (apparently, we were in bed by 8pm), then is shining brightly as if it was lunchtime at freaking 5:30 in the morning! This is madness! This is HOLLAND!

We walked to the shops today, such a great little town, I keep feeling like we are walking through a purpose built tourist town, but no, this is what their houses actually look like everywhere. (see below for a photo I took from google images of a street down the road from me)

We got to our first european supermarket, and it is incredibly cheap here for food that kinda tastes better than ours back home. Awkward.

Tomorrow we are picking up our campervan, or the day after… Or something.

Anyway…I still seem to be the only one posting blogs…Elky might one day if we’re lucky :-p

Smiley.

Poking tongue.
