We have said 'see you later' to the 'land of my fathers' and are now in Belgium after a cool day at Holland's answer to Disney Land, The Efteling. It's various rides, activities and shows are based loosely around Fairy Tales. Over the last few days we have had an excellent time biking through the local forests, going to one of the best zoos we have ever seen (Burgers Zoo near Arnhem), canal-cruising around Amsterdam, spotting red squirrels, rabbits and deer around our little cottage, introducing the kids to Van Gogh paintings and the amazing sculpture park in the Kroller Muller Museum, and trying to sample as much good Dutch food as possible - Appel Flap, Pannekoeken, Frikandel and of course hot chips with 'frite sauce (mayonaise)'.

ReplyDeleteI looked on the web for jokes about Belgium and this was the only one I could post here:
ReplyDeleteA Belgian person goes to the psychoanalyst. As he is lying on the famous couch, he tells the doctor:
- Doctor, every night I have the same dream. I am in front of a large door;
I push it, I push it, I push it harder and harder, and it never opens.
- Well, what is written on this door?
- Pull the door.
Judging by the grammar it was translated into English, so maybe it is more of a barnstormer in its own language!
Cheers
Geoff.
