Travelog for: Iggy-Korn

Hello!

Today we made a testdrive in a Renault Megane Scenic. That was very cool!


After that i want to drive something myself so Eva decided to learn me how to ride on a bike.
Fortunate for me the bike has wheels on his frame because otherwise i think i fal. And i don't think that falling on the street is a nice feeling.
When i climb on the bike a immidiately start riding and Eva wasn't expect that. Before she know i was gone. I heard her calling my name and she run after me. But she was really in panic so i stopped and listen to her carefully after that.


Don't i look cool on the bike mummy?

Hello!

Today i knew it must happen, a dream i have had to come true....
Do you allready know what i mean?

First Eva told me that i have to sit as still as possible and she decided at wich place was the best for it.


I was a little bit nervous but Eva and Lillebi comfort me.
Eva explain me exactly what she was doing.
Here she is counting till 3 before she gonna shoot:


Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!


Eva let Magicwoman, my next host, promise she give me an earring because now i have the one everybody has to wear in the beginning. I didn't hurt at all!


Lillebi is such a sweet girl. I think she find me more atractive than ever right now

Big hugs from a very happy Iggy-Korn

Hello!

We've got a lot of sunshine! So we sit in the garden a lot at the moment because Eva isn't feeling to well, but tomorrow we are gonna do something else.
But for us it doesn't matter at all. You can find a lot here in the garden!

Truly, madly, deeply in love





Eva lives in a house by the water so you see a lot of birds around here. One of the ducks have baby's!
They are so sweet and we give them bread today.




And we play a lot in the sand

Hello!

A new TV arrived today. Lillebi and i watch the envelope and were very excited who can be in it.


Suddenly a black something stormed out of the envelope saying it was very hot in the envelope. I can imagine that because of the sun. We found him by the door to the garden and took him outside.

This is Bene
I think we gonna have a lot of fun!

Hello!

Today we went to the ruinechurch in Bergen.
This picturesque ruin church in Bergen once was the biggest church in Noord-Holland. From the 16th century church there is only a ruin left now, because the Beggars started a fire here. Only the choir of the church was rebuilt, so from the original church you can now only see the ruins.
In the village Bergen in Noord-Holland there are many beautiful old houses situated around the old village church.

Hello!

A new TV arrived today. The first thing that popped in my mind was: hopefully no competition for me because of Lillebi. But we were all very curious who it was in that envelope.


Even Dharma was curious.


We have to help the TV in the envelope because he was a little bit shy to come out of the envelope. We try to comfort him and it worked because he came out.

This is Willy wau

We are gonna chat now to get to know him better.

Hello!

Today we asked Eva to tell us everything she know about Alkmaar. She told us some funny stories!

Alkmaar is above all Holland's cheese town. During the season from the first Friday of April to the first Friday of September a traditional cheese market is being held here on Friday mornings between 10 and 12.30. The cheeses are sold by dealers on a clap of hands. Thereupon the 400 year old cheese porters' guild goes into action, carrying the cheese off on barrows after the lot has been weighed at the Waag (the official scales). In the Waaggebouw - in which the scales are housed - a cheese museum that tells everything about dairy farming has been established.
Cheese has been weighed in Alkmaar since 1635.

Alkmaar is historical with around 400 monuments. The Waag, dating back in its earliest form to the 14th century, the 16th century town-hall, Grote St. Laurens Church and the many courtyards, facades and canals give the town an ambience all of its own. With the past as a setting, the town has a modern stock of shops offering a wide choice. Besides the predominantly small shops in the old centre, the Noorder Arcade with large scale shopping facilities stands by the side of the Noord Holland Canal.

Alkmaar is the biggest town in the region. Relaxation can also be found in the Geestmerambacht recreational area close by.

Hello!

Today we take a walk in the duines of Hargen aan zee. Hargen is a village near Alkmaar and it's near the Nordsea.

On our way to it we saw a lot of duines and dikes.

Here we are driving trought the forest of Schoorl, also a village near Alkmaar.

Duines...



Dikes...



Strange animals behind the sheepes..


And here i am in the duines!




This is the view we had in the duines. If you look cloesely you can see the sea above the dikes:

Hello!

Also a new TV arrived today. When we got home from our walk we found a paper that said there was a package for Eva delivered by her neighbours. The package was very big so we all were wondering what could be in that big box.


It was very strange to see a small beer walked out of the box.


Why such a big box for such a small animal? But suddenly Bene shouted that the beer was attached to a string. There was one more in the box!


It is Davy with his little friend!

Hello!

Today we stayed home and discover a lot here.
First we enjoyed the sun and suddenly two dogs came to us. We didn't notice them before and they told us they wanna become a toyvoyager also. We drink tea with them and told us al about our adventures.



Eva made eggs and bread for us and it was very delicious!


After that we wanna see what we can find in the house.
I found some dwarfs and they told me i can find a fantasy world here if i want.


I ask them were i can find it but the only thing they did was point to the book closet. First i had no clue what they meant with that but we all decided to take a look at the novels in the closet.


We found a lot off novels written by Stephen King. We talked about his stories about good and evil and suddenly we realised what the dwarfs tied to tell us. If you read a book you are in a fantasy world!


This are books about Appie and his friends. As a child Eva her dad read this stories to her and they are very old. You can't find them in the stores anymore. The books look old and smell old so it was very excited to read them.

After that we found some treasure chests. In each of that chest we found fairytales and classic stories. This was so much fun to see!

Hello!

I start with the good news. Eva decided to do something for us yesterday evening. We had no clue what it was because she showed us a strange thing:


We go to bed and were thinking what i can be and when we got out of bed this morning we finally saw what is was:


It is a pool! Today they predict a very sunny and hot day so Eva thought it would be a great idea to give us something fresh and funny.

But the bad news is:
They were wrong! It's very cloudy
Hopefully the sun will show itself today so we can play in the pool.

Big hugs Iggy-Korn

Hello!

Today was such a rainy day. It was such a pitty because we wanna do something outside. Hopefully the weather is better tomorrow.


Eva wanna cheer us up so she made my favorite meal: patat, kroketten and kaassoufle.


Eva also had a very delicious desert for us, chocolate mousse!!

Hello!

Today we went to Den Helder to visit Eva her grandma.
Den Helder has ever started with the arising of Huisduinen, a whaler village. Gradually it developed into Den Helder which we know now. A city which was built within the linies of the forten. Later formed a number of districts there around. The space between the different town parts is characteristic. Den Helder is a city with a strongly maritime screen. Sea-going, the rescue being, the offshore and the royal Navy natural.

The Navy has stipulated many years' the image of Den Helder. But the Navy shrank in, Den Helder threatened to become a city with no face. By nourishing the culturehistory , the tales of the seaman and with that the coherent heroiek Den Helder has rediscovered its own core values.

Eva told me this while i was watching the ship-building yard.


When you look at the end of the picture you can see some old ships that were used in the war. But they still use this ships for other wars and peace missions.



Here you see the submarine in the shipyard.



Here we are watching the Nordsea. It was such a bright day today that you even can see Texel!


After the shipyard we watched the flowerbulb fields. They are famous here in Holland. We were very lucky because in this time of year you can see all the bright colours of it.
