I'm gonna try to to everything we do each day in different posts.. so different day, different post :P First we went to Kampen, which was a beautiful city.. we went to the old part, rather than the new. There were so many outlet shops and everything was all 50-80% on sale.. it was great! I bought 2 new skirts, a coat, a sweater thing, and a sweater vest(??) its really nice.. and it was all under 50 euros.. amazing, i know.. it was great :P then we went to Lilystad, which was also really really nice.. then we went to Urk, which was a little island, until all the polders were built after the war. Polders are like man-made land, with dykes to keep the water out. so all the land is below sea level. it is really old.. I'm gonna post some pictures when i have the chance. don't really have time right now.. then we went across a big dyke to Enkhuizen. there was nothing there, so we just drove around and then went back..then we went to Meppel, and attempted to find a place to eat. Everything closes around 6:00 so it was a little difficult because it was 8:00... we finally found this restaurant, and it looked really fancy and expensive, but it was the only thing open. so fancy and expensive, you expect nice, right?? well it was... but me and erika and esther ordered from the kids menu because that was what had hamburgers, french fries, and the works. when they brought it too us, just the kids meals, they were served on pink plastic plates, with a princess on it :D i know. wasnt expecting that at all :) then we went back and went to bed around 9:30... one of the things i find fascinating is that here, on the highways, the speed limit is 120 km/h.. not 100km... but holland is so beautiful. lots of cows and sheep. I kinda wish that canada was like holland.. bikes always have right of way so we have to let bikes go first.. and everyone is on bikes, its crazy.
