Arrive Amsterdam - 6am, 9 April

We are here! Well, not France yet, but a sunny, warm Amsterdam.

The flights were long. Even so, the boys coped wonderfully and were wide eyed - until they couldn't keep their eyes open.

Lots of straat and gracht walking today. Visited our old home on 2e Helmerstraat. Survived bikes and trams driving on the wrong side of the road. Absolutely brilliant weather. The cafes are out on the streets.

Our houseboat on the Keizergracht is cosy - photos tomorrow.

    The solemn time on the Somme for Anzac Day. Here John's great grandfather served as a driver of an ambulance usually under intense fire in the Great War and somehow survived to produce more of your relatives that bear the family name. Says G/dad

    That peaceful place the lo-ire valley, famed for its peace and scenic beauty. A respite from the falling euro value woes currently afflicting the markets of Europe. says G/dad

    We would love to read your progress in Giverny and Saint Guen? With google and an address we may be able to see you waving at the passing satellite. Thats a French wave not the Mexican unless football has recommenced and the Euro has stopped falling. says G/dad
