Sunday we got picked up by Lianne's Aunt Marijke, and Unlce Erik, and we went to the town of Heusden. It's a town that was built in the 1200s - a completely self sustaining town, and designed to hold against attacks. Dykes surround the entire town, and cannons accompany them by sitting on top! The people that live there have to sign a contract when they move; stating that they won't change the outside of their house in any way. The reason being, so preserve history as best it can be.

Today we went on a little road trip to Utrecht and bought a phone finally! Also validated our train passes, so that's a relief. Tomorrow early, we drive to Den Bosche - Take a train to Amsterdam - fly to London - train to Liverpool; Thursday morning is - Train to London Airport - fly to Belfast - bus to Banbridge - get to our home for the next 5 days! It's going to be a long couple of days, but it'll truly test our travelling abilities. Now the real adventure begins!
