Hey
here I am, happy to report Holland was fantastic. just 48 hours true but went really well. Caught up with a very special friend of mine, something which obviously made my trip. Food wise not great but on the other hand not bad either. Throat behaved but head did not. Still, I managed to enjoy myself and have some real fun so I'm not complaining. Now, throat seems to have mended while head varies in degree but so far so good. Really looking forward to London on Friday now - just 3 days but lots of shopping planned. Unfortunately i'm not at the weight I planned to be but I will still shop for clothes. In the meantime I'll try to get back on track - London will help since I'm only on bed and breakfast there and food is very expensive so by default we'll be careful to save pounds on both ends.
Btw, it also snowed in Holland and Delft is a place worth visiting and not just the pottery stuff. Hadn't seen snow since 1998. Loved it.
