Visitors again (end of 2003)

We sure do love having visitors from back home :) We have been to places this time that we hadnt seen before ourselves :) Last Wednesday I went with the visitors to Brussels for the day :) Friday Hans took us to Waterloo and that was such an interesting place. You really need several hours to see everything though. We just got to see the Wellington museum in Waterloo itself, the Napolean Museum at the farmhouse where he spent his last night, and at the battlefield, I watched the film while Hans and the others climbed the lion mound. It was a really nice afternoon :)

Then on Sunday we took off for Koln (Cologne) in Germany. We visited the Cathedral there which is world heritage listed and I think it is the oldest in Germany. We also wandered around some of the Christmas markets there :) Afterwards we went by Monschau, also in Germany and a place I can never get enough of :) They also had their Christmas markets on.

We also got to do other sightseeing including Amsterdam and the wonderful Christmas markets in the caves in Valkenburg, and more.
