Welcome to our Blog about our trip from Germany to Morocco and back. July 2012 - We crossed the border to Germany at nearly the same spot we had 5 months ago started from. We celebrated our "return" and the 10.000 accident-free kilometers with some nice German coffee and cakes. We were dressed as Sultan Hassan al Mansour al Djabi and his harem, dressed with the clothes we had bought in Morocco. Sophie danced until 12:15 in the night... After this weekend in Basel we drove to Holland pretty quickly. We wanted to spend some time in Holland to see family and friends. As we normally only have time to spend the weekends with our relatives, we now wanted to give the kids some cows, windmills, cheese and wooded clogs. As we wanted to enjoy some real Holland, we visited Hoorn, Volendam and soms other picturesque places. We even went to the traditional cheese market in Alkmaar. Afternoons we could watch the cows being milked and Sophie could help the farmer feeding the lams, goats, rabbits and chicken while I cooked Dutch food. And again, the weather was just perfect! But 2 weeks weren't enough. We extended our stay in the Netherlands for another week in Limburg, near the three-country corner; Holland, Belgium, Germany. This farmer campsite was occupied by Dutch families with lots of children so Sophie and Marlies could play as much as they wanted. But not only the playground was very complete, there were many animals to pet as well. Furthermore we did some daytrips to Maastricht and Valkenburg and enjoyed our last days in the Netherlands. |
