Long weekend

Yesterday was our 20th wedding anniversary and Mrs. Goodwatch and I spent a long weekend in the beautiful town of Middelburg, the capital of the Province of Zealand. (No, not New Zealand). Nice hotel, nice dinners and drinks and lovely evenings on the terrace. We liked it so much we will be returning next year. We returned this afternoon, tomorrow it’s back to work but only for a couple of days because Friday our big trip to Indonesia starts and I will be leaving you all for 3 weeks!

Our hotel

Middelburg's Town Hall

Old gate

Belated congratulations to you both and it sounds like you had a great time.

I hope your trip to Indonesia is just as enjoyable and don't worry, we will try to keep the insanity going until you get back.

Congratulations on reaching that milestone, Frans. Best wishes to you and Anne.

Middelburg looks like a nice place to spend a romantic time. I love the "vintage" look of European towns. Best we can do over here is maybe 100 years (and those places are few and far between).

Have a great trip to Indonesia.
