20 April ’05, Wednesday.
It’s been 6 days since we checked into this campground and 5 days since we took “Bumble Bee” into Donna’s so that she could get the APK (Safety Inspections in Holland) taken care of for us. Any time you have to go in front of a government agency for something like this, you know that they will find something to hit you with. This was no different, but then not too bad either. The biggest item was a broken coil spring in the rear-end, and a new muffler... It wouldn’t have been that long, except that it ran over a weekend. This afternoon we checked out of our bungalow campground, and rechecked in with “Bumble Bee”. With all the mess of 3 duffel bags we brought back, 3 backpacks, makeup case, and too many bags of “new bargain items” we found in town, and a stop at the grocery store, we had our job cutout for us storing everything into it’s proper place. By the time we had 98% of everything stored, it was time to start dinner. The idea of having dinner and sleeping in “Bumble Bee” tonight was our highlight for the day (it doesn’t take much for us to get “high” over here…). We’ve had a lot of rain the last week and today started out the same. By noon the rain had stopped and by tonight the sun was out. Now that doesn’t mean that it was warm, it just means that the sun was out. This morning till about 11, it was down-right cold, but tonight it was just about pleasant. We’ll hope for more for the weekend. Well, we knew that it would probably happen to one of us, and wouldn’t you know it would be me…I’ve come down with a cold…I know, it’s only a cold, but I was doing so well. I’m going to blame it on stress or possibly, those little kids at Ikea, with their coughs and runny noses running all over the place. Lou is trying to get those vitamins down my throat, but they are sooo damn big…
Tomorrow is “Market Day” in Delft, so we will probably head up to see what kind of deals we can find there.
