DAY 301


Monday 7 May 2012

Our "conservative hippie" drawing of Benji.
Just as we were about to pull out of the truck stop two trucks loaded with cows pulled up. Luckily we didn’t have to listen to them all night (or smell them). We headed up to our friends The Smalhouts in Amstelveen and by 1:30 we (the Beverly HillHippies as Deborah newly dubbed us)were in their driveway again. No sooner were we in the door than Deborah had delicious Dutch cheese sandwiches ready with cappuccinos for Dian and Charles (Nicole hadn’t submitted to the allure of coffee and it was just as well).
A little shout out to Dian's swimming partners back home
We decided to trade in Excalibur for a fresh set of wheels
After Herman came home from his dental practice, he let Charles drive his BMW convertible to the garage for a quick fix. Benji, took Dian and Nicole to the mall where Dian bought a natural hair dye. Deborah was taking care of details for a family member’s funeral and Paulo was not yet out of school.

They treated us to an all you can eat sushi restaurant in Amsterdam and we were all stuffed when we left. Dian hopped on the back of Herman’s motorbike and met the rest of the group at Benji’s apartment. We enjoyed looking around his bachelor pad and then we drove or rode back to Herman and Deborah’s.
