Saturday to Monday
Saturday after dropping Carol off at
the Leewarden station we came back to the house in Sneek and then
went for a walk through the town. It was very busy as we wandered in
and out of the shops and watching boats in the canal. And cooling
off with a yummy ice cream.
A hydrangia snow bank! |

More hydrangas |
The weather was hot and humid
Sunday we wanted to go for bike ride
out in the countryside, but it was way too hot and we didn't do
much. Sheryl went for a short one in the neighbourhood. We went to
the grocery shopping to stock me up with groceries after Sheryl and
Paul leave on Monday. They made me a really yummy dinner.....Barbeque
chicken, potatoes, veggies and salad.
Sheryl and I
took a walk up to the nearby that I haven't explored mainly because
it didn't have any caches)....Wilhelminapark. It is
the oldest park in the city. The park dates from 1898 and was built
on the occasion of the inauguration of Queen Wilhelmina. The park is
laid out in the English landscape style and design was landscaper
Lambert Vlaskamp. The park is almost in original condition / shape.
Wilhelmina Park is the second park in the Netherlands, after the
Vondelpark in Amsterdam, It also solved a little mystery that
I have been hearing whenever I'm sitting out on the patio.......a
rooster crowing!!! In the park there is an aviary.....lots of birds
and a a couple of huge rabbits. Who would have thought!
Monday we woke up to rain....but still
rather warm. I walked Sheryl and Paul down to the train station and
got them on a train for Amsterdam where they are going to do some
last minute shopping and spending the night so that they are nearer
to the airport for their flight home tomorrow.

I have spent my first day on my own
reading, watching TV, playing CC (level 347 has me grinding my
teeth!) and planning for my next mini adventure......it rained all
day.
