    I just put a 2012 part II-entry in my blog. It's got lots of photos, and I hope you'd like to see them.

    It's all about Holland, mostly the area around Hoorn.

    The Hoorn harbour tower:

    A nice window decoration:

    I got to sit on this bench, and Sjoerd is right. It is very comfortable:

    We went on a steam train:

    Then we spent some time in a town called Volendam:

    I'll bore you with the Floriade, more trains and a trip to a lime mine and Randers Rainforest some other day.

    I want to be bored with more piccies Droopy - especially the Floriada ones. :D I miss Hoorn and the surrounding villages and towns. The garden centre at Alkmaar was a favourite of mine - sooo many plants!! Maybe once the house repairs are finished we can save for a visit there again.

    Those are nice fotos--I like the one of the cat in the window.

    Yeah, the bench is comfy (especially with cushions ;-) )...but of course what REALLY made it was having you there sitting on it.
