We’ll the 8 hour time difference still has a bit of a hold on us on day 3. We had grand plans of getting up and on the road by 8:30am and heading North to the homeland-Freisland. Well that timeline came and went and we all woke up around Noon local time. So we gave our heads a shake and decided a shorter trip to Spakenburg a nice little fishing Village about 10 km from Soeste where we are staying. We walked around and enjoyed the local shops, the boys and I ate kibbeling, which is a local delicacy of small chunks of Cod lightly battered-lekkers(delicious) Gloria and Gramma had Kroketten , which is ground up pork and Dutch spices and then breaded and deep fried. Grampa had a plate of Patates Frites(French fries). The deal of the day in the picture below is the Lion Hat for €1.50 Ethan got to help cheer on Holland in the World Cup.

Hello Niven Clan, Great to see that you have arrived safe and sound! It was a beautiful Canada Day here but I miss my girls. They are all in B.C. this week. It leaves me lots of time to devote to my chuckwagons. Please leave some of the pork and cod treats for us to sample and don’t eat Holland empty (Ben!). I really love the idea of your blog and look forward to your daily updates. GOD bless! Chat soon…TB
