Getting settled…

Posted on Sunday 22 July 2007

Well hallo all, we are now comfortably in the da haag.  This is now our 3rd day here and it is really nice.  It is good weather with just shirts and thongs on most of the time…Yesterday we went for a walk to the beach, where it was quite busy and normal to be half naked..Klade and i are gonna get a moped or somesort today to zip around on.  We saw the dutch team training yesterday also, just off the beach we were chilling on…it looks like they are going to have the racing quite close to shore for spectators making the waves a little bigger as they hit the sandy banks.  Our flights were alright, unfortunately on the last two we didn’t have any entertainment on board which meant two 18yr olds had to amuse ourselves in other ways, the end result being us two dressed up as middle eastern warriors using our pillows and airline blankets…it was a long flight.  The photos show klade and I in front of a really small car, we thought i was cool, and an emergency nude stop! Only in amsterdam! anyways betta get going, super keen for racing now! not long to go… Cheers ryan

    Hey Ryan & Klade

    Great to see you both and warm too. Not sure what to say about the noodstop, whether to press it or not - what does it mean (on 2nd thoughts perhaps better not to know). Love the car/truck - why can’t you hire one of those, figure you can’t speed too much with that thing and it would fit in any car space, no seriously as messaged do not hire anything that is not covered on your insurance (check small print!!) don’t underestimate public transport its supposed to be excellent there.

    looking forward to hearing from you again from another day at da Haag.

    Love you
    Mum X
