No, followed the signs for "Holland" instead of "Limburg". :-"

Great Trip - thanks to everyone.

Cake was delicious, thanks - what a way to spend a birthday :D

Enjoyed the 'Bongoy' - remember the faces of some of the locals!!

No 1 son reckons I've got a few screws loose, told him Bongos don't have screws, only nuts and bolts. #-o

Probably, the latest news from the BACK line... ;-) We're near to return from our trip! (which only had started at the Tamowa meeting) Today are in Stuttgart just in a night-drive from the UK, departing off this evening. I merely forgot to belive that day would ever happen! :-D

P.S. Oh yeah, today is the first day since July I'm able to post phorums... :-)
