UNPLANNED AVDENTURE

For the most part, my weekend consisted of laying in bed, watching children's films and getting up every now to take a bathroom break. On the odd occasion, when Michelle and my nicotine cravings set in, we would wander in the forest and happily smoke cigarettes while sharing stories of friends in South Africa. We reminisced about both friendships and relationships that had come and gone and the people we missed back home. We lazed in bed till 12 each morning and only got our day started by 1.Today we ventured out of Driebergen on our bikes on what we regarded as somewhat of an ' unplanned adventure'. The weather was crisp and cold and we biked along golden tree lined roads whilst autumn leaves fell to the ground. We passed green pastures with cows and goats grazing and admired a few castles along the way. When the cold got the better of us and could no longer feel our frosted fingertips, we biked back home, snuk into our central heated rooms and crept under our fleecy covers.

Its been an odd experience the change of seasons in Holland whilst everyone back in South Africa is basking in the thirty six degree sun and sipping on summer cocktails.
