  1. Those steps really are wicked - that was a great picture with Cole walking up! It's not wonder those Dutch stay on shape!!

    I forgot to ask, did you really eat snails? Did Diana? Barry likes them but I don't know...

    Loved the Portemirion - it looked like my dining room :)

    The cathedral looks awesome and the photos of you guys with the plaque is definately a keeper.

    Hope you picked up some gouda at the cheese shop (in keeping with the blog theme) to go with that delicous looking dark beer.

    We had a St Paulie Girl last night (I know German, but close) and toasted you all.

    Thanks for all the great pics! xxxooo
