In the last month I had a fantastic time in Holland and Italy followed by a treat when coming home in a midwinter warm day and walking in this spectacular atmosphere in Sumner
The haze at the seaside covers the signs of past earthquakes but anywhere else in this part of Christchurch you can't ignore it. Miles of containers to protect people from falling rocks from the cliffs behind it.

Resilience rules. More and more containers are transformed by being covered with smart art.
No post about Holland yet? The luxury decease of jetlag prevented me from sorting out lots of photos. Early at night my eyelids drop as they are confused by the change of day and night. Everything is the other way around even the water in the sink spins in the opposite direction. Another weird observation is that the pull of gravity is bigger here then in Holland as the number on the scale is higher. Scientist among you, don't respond. I am still jetlagged you know. Anyway once a week I will give you a drop of Dutch or some insight in Italy. Once a week because I am a working versus mum. Here a link to a great website with an interactive map of Holland to have a first taste. It is in Dutch though. :( voor de Nederlanders :)
Welcome back, Marja. Looking forward to seeing the photos of your adventures and hear the stories.
