And we bid farewell to The Hague.

Tomorrow I will take a train to Brussels and catch my flight to Rome (how fun is that?).

Today, we will pick up our certificates, do some laundry and start packing.

Tonight - our new friends, Lena the Russian, and Liz from Squamish, are coming over to help us drink the rest of our wine that we are refusing to pack given the strict weight regulations and then we will trod on down to the beach to watch the world fireworks competition.  It is Belgium v Germany.

The Hague has been so great I hope to return in the next few years.

I had a crappy head cold for a few days, but still don't feel like I missed out on seeing much - nothing I won't catch upon my return.

I probably already mentioned this, but the Dutch are the original cool.

I will be sad to give up my giant cruiser bike, but I might trade it in for a Vespa in Rome - one never knows.

Thanks to my super room mates, Lisa & Steve!  They took such great care of me when I was sick and hiding under the covers.

Home in about a week now.
