We're here !!!



May 5th is Dutch (and Rees) liberation day! We had a great flight from Toronto to Schipol airport in Amsterdam. We arrived early - at 6:15 instead of the forecast 7:00 am. Caught the train to Nijmegan and switched there to go to Cuijk. A true adventure - tired and a little punchy too. We were met by Jan and Thea at the station. The ladies walked and the gentlemen drove with the luggage to Grotestraat.
We've had a wonderful day - a weird one because we had two mornings and wine with the second breakfast (very hobbit like)!
This evening a beautiful walk along the Maas and then we got to check out Jan's new camping van. Very nice and cozy! I think we're going to like it here!
