Night two in Amsterdam, this time with our bags!! They flew in this morning (phew!).
Anyway, today we drove to a few nice places around Holland, first Volendam, a nice little sea side village full of shops and restaurants. I tried a whole bunch of dutch food, like Crouquets, Bamihopje and Fricandels.. yum! We also […]

In Amsterdam tonight, but without our bags.. which are somewhere between Poland and Holland. Thanks British Airways.. you are the best - not!
Surely it cant be that hard to track two bags that have a barcode attached to them? (i witnessed the tagging as i always do!) but no.. there comment “we think you should […]

3 days in Poland has given me a small taste of life here and has allowed me to get to know my distant family. My father passed away when i was only 14 and therefore I never knew the Polish side (the Szulc part) of my heritage. My only knowledge was that as depicted in […]

Movies watched so far: Matchpoint (okay), Failure to Launch (funny) and Pink Panther (good airplane movie, but dont […]

Much more to come […]
