My trip to Europe

[Canuck]

Word of warning...Now when you go to visit Hamish, folks make sure you're kilted or else you may end up like this chap

Sometimes a little horseplay is in order so we did a "bronze" dread

And of course Hamish can really kick things off to a start

[Canuck]

In another thread Ham had me talking to this lady in waiting.... I pleaded with her to come back with me to help make some kilts but she turned me down....ouch

Of course when I went to Holland we had to check up on the old family castle. I'm sorry to say it's a little run down at the moment but...It's on my father's mother's side of the family So here are the ruins of Brederode

[Canuck]

Dad and I visited the town of Gouda (roll the g.... gh ow da)

of course did a stint in Tilburg on the Queens-day holiday


And speaking of the Queen. we saw her at the unveiling of some statues in the city of Venlo

[Canuck]

Managed to visit a number of windmills throughout the countryside, this is part of a trio of windmills just outside Zoetemeer


Also visited the town square of Delft famous for the blue on white china and people that stare at guys in kilts taking pictures of them.


We have some 500 photos that I have yet to go through. But it was truely a wonderful experience to share with my dad. A real treat to meet up with Hamish and Jim in England and to spend a day with Robin and his lovely wife Michele.

More to come
