A day out in het Gooi
It might have been May Day bank holiday weekend in Britain, but here in Holland it was Queen´s Day on Monday, yay, a day off!
Me and Joe took the bikes out for a wander in surrounding countryside and within 10 minutes were speeding past canals separating us from fields full of Hendrikas! (thats cows for those who can´t remember "The Cow who Fell in the Canal").
Soon we were in the woods that spread all the way from Utrecht to the Gooimeer (thatś part of the Netherlands inland sea) and we came across a little farm. With it's little nestling farmhouse and two tilled fields surrounded by forest it was like something out of a Hans Christian Anderson story.
The Queen's Day celebrations themselves were really good fun, we spent it in Hilversum rather than in either city to soak up our local atmosphere.

Howdy!
I finally managed to find the blog. I know, I've been told a thousand time but I just keep forgetting.
Anyway, I'm here now. Glad you guys are enjoying the Netheregions. Me and Gem were talking about when to come over the other day. Maybey towards the end of the summer? Let me know when is good for you. I haven't been to the Dam for ages and it'll be good to come over and chill and know mates that live there.
Anyone else think we should organise a weekend in the Dam and hook up with Anna and Jo? Eh, c'mon. DOOWID!
