Another stunner of a day. Beautiful warm sun and bright blue sky. Everything was going so smoothly until we got outside of Köln and the autobahn was at a complete stand still. We were parked for about 20 minutes. I got nervous and dug out the chocolate I had stashed away. I mean, you never know... People suffer from starvation on the autobahn all the time. We crossed over the Rhein and into Holland without international incident. Ultimately made it to Eindhoven at 4:45, only 45 minutes after we said we'd pick up Chris... Now, Chris is my buddy from the cruise ship who flew from Manchester to meet up for a couple days. The timing worked and he pulled the trigger and bought a flight for a 48 hr hang. We grabbed Mr Gonzalez and headed north to our rental cottage B&B Achterbos: former tractor shed and chicken coop.... No shit.
Neat little town. Busy for a Thursday evening. There were a couple bars and restaurants that were just opening up and enjoying the last hours of this warm weather. We found a live music venue and traded info.
Nike's latest Dutch running shoe.
Cruised back to the shack for some gin (the card game not the liquid). A super mellow night which is just what the doctor ordered after 8 shows.
