Rhein Waterfall in Schaffhausen
Just two days before heading to Switzerland en-route to Italy, cousins Ina and Andries showed us their video of Rheinfall in Schaffhausen … well Neuhausen actually (they’re about 3 km’s apart). It looked awesome … the sound and power of the water drew me in like a magnet. We just HAD to include it in our travel plan.
It was our first day of travelling and we’d spent about 8-9 hours in the car before reaching Neuhausen, so we grabbed the chance to stretch our legs. Continue reading
Offroading for Dummies
Rob Mieras is a 4×4 driving instructor and has the patience of Job when it comes to teaching new offroading skills to nervous drivers. We had the good fortune of joining them on a camping trip to Freizeitpark Mammut in Germany, which was just fabulous.

Flying Lesson in Lelystad
For my birthday in 2006, Marcel gave me a totally unexpected and wonderful gift – a flight lesson in Lelystad. Since watching a documentary about Emelia Erhardt when I was a little girl, I’ve always thought it would be cool to be a pilot.
I’m also envious of a bird’s ability to fly … the apparent freedom to come and go as you please is very appealing. On the 8th of March, Marcel and I headed to Lelystad from Zwolle, where we were living at the time. We’d just bought a house in Lelystad-Haven and we very excited about moving there in May.
