For the first time in decades I have celebrated Christmas in the Netherlands! The day before Christmas I traveled by train to Franeker to celebrate Christmas Eve with Pim and Nanda. Of course with a nice dinner!<\/p>\n

The next day the three of us drove to Groningen, where Ruud and Jur had invited us for Christmas. The weather was mild, no snow. On our way we passed the picturesque town of Balk. Here a picture of the town hall (1615)<\/p>\n

In Groningen another nice dinner.\u00a0 Did I say already that after I am back in Malaysia, I will go on a diet?<\/p>\n

The day after Christmas, Boxing Day, is called the Second Day of Christmas in the Netherlands. It is a day for family visits. The weather was nice, there was even a bit of sun. Good weather for a walk.<\/p>\n

Ruud and Jur had organised a family brunch. It was nice to meet my two favourite nephews (both of them have visited me in Malaysia). And you can see how happy my brother is with his granddaughter..:-)<\/p>\n
