The beginning of our journey in Holland

We bought our wonderful Dutch Tjalk Gronigen Bol Ship in Delfzyl, and did wonder if we were going to get all our 'necessaries' onto the boat!

We met some wonderfully kind people who gave us insight into their Dutch culture, and festivities, and some of these images are shown below. (With apologies to Blog 'experts' as the photos are not in chronological order, and I cant seem to fix this!)

Our neighbours on tugs in Delfzy, played English sea shanties!

One way to move house. Sneekesmeer

Beautiful gardens, Elburg

Road sign, Elburg!!!?
Our favourite spot, Wijland
"Dress for dinner" I said!
Collecting rubbish from the islands - by boat!!
Most amazing sunset, Buitenkaag
What a convenient mooring outside a supermarket!
That's never going to all go in!
Oude Gracht, Weesp
Steel sculpture, Groningen
Dronten!
Old friends and new mingle
However we soon got organised for our first visitors
Baptism of Fire, 32 bridges through Veendam!


We're the 'little one' in the middle! (Leewarden)
