We yet again begin another day in Paradise! (this also happens to be the brand of the bedding we sleep in). Our usual gluttons breakfast awaits us, except today we exchange the relaxed atomosphere or previous breakfast for an excited hurried air. Today is the day we go to another country, be as it may that it is only 20km from here. An unheard of experience for most of us. Again we meet at the Kulturehaus and bundle into cars, hehe still not believing that we are about to drive in a few minutes into another country. Unbelievable...
The countryside is astounding, so so flat. Considering that where i live in the south of WA it is really quite hilly this was quite an interesting view. The farms are so compact but they really know how to use every last piece of land that they own! 15km down the road we pass the Netherlands sign, quite a small and insignificant sign considering that we have just passed into another country. The sign into Boyup Brook is bigger and more prominant! Obviously the landscape doesnt change but the architecture does. Beautiful thatched roofs and cottage style gardens.
We eventually enter the town of Venlo (pronounced as Fenlo), took us half an hour from Neukirchen/Vluyn. We spent the next 2 1/2 hrs shopping, down beautiful cobblestone streets. After that we drove home to prepare for the biggest concert of the tour! That we shall cover later....
Bye for now
