It is already wednesday and at times John and I feel we are still recovering from the flight. We still feel as if we just stepped off a boat rather than a plane because our balance is playing funny tricks on us. Luca is back in her "Sydney"routine. So no more waking up at 4 am to start the day.
Yesterday John and I went to Utrecht and Luca stayed home with Oma and Opa. This went well. Luca seems to remember my mum, not so much when she saw her at the airport but definitely in the way my mum interacts with her. They are playing the same games as when my mum was in Sydney and this is very familiar for Luca. They took Luca for her first bike ride and she absolutely loved it. Can't believe we missed it. But there you go, she is a little person living her own life and experiencing new things every day. With or without her mum and dad.
We had fun in Utrecht. The weather was very nice, lots of people out and about, great shops and soooo many of them. We caught up with a Kiwi friend of John who didn't know we are in the country. Always nice to suprise people that way, Mike nearly got a heart attack;-)
After that we went for Tapa's. We sat along one of the canals and as we had the scenery it was to be expected that the food would be shit [as you can't seem to have it all] Or maybe we are just very spoiled [or should I say Lucky] with the food in Sydney. And the wine for that matter. In this restaurant the choice of wine was red or white, I went for white and could choose between sweet or dry........................

Tomorrow we are going to Natas. She has invited a whole bunch of friends so it will be great to catch up with everyone.

Hallo hallo!

Wat goed om te lezen dat de vlucht zo goed is gegaan (voor zo ver mogelijk) en dat jullie het lekker hebben in NL! Hier alles goed, mijn ouders zijn er nog een paar dagen dus daar gaan we van genieten. Verder 26 graden morgen, ja!, dus daar kun je je alvast op verheugen. Veel plezier nog en dikke zoenen van Linda, Gerard & Bonne
