I had already told you the Netherlands won from Italy with 3-0 yesterday, hadn't I? Marjolein bought some newspapers to show how the European Cup lives in Holland. All the newspapers are orange!

Hi mum,
I ate some real Dutch food today: herring and stroopwafels. The call herring, when you eat it like this Hollandse Nieuwe. It doesn't look very yummie, but it actually was! They eat the herring not with knives and forks but they bite it out of the sky! Weird Dutch people

Hi mummy,
A new tv arrived today! It's Claire! She is here because she is coming with us to Italy!
Atfortunately for her the weather was very bad today! But I guess she is used to that because she is from the Netherlands.
Love Chompers

Hi mum,
I went back to Groningen! We ate at a Tapasrestaurant. Tapas are little Spanish snacks. We ate lots of stuff like spare ribs, dates, lambs, melon in honey and lots more. And for dessert a chocolatecake!! The restaurant had some beautiful and colourfull stairs!! After diner we had some drinks on the Marketplace called the 'Grote Markt'. We also went to a bar called the Newscafé and to the cinema. To the movie called In Bruges. It was a weird but cool movie. All and all we had a really nice night in Groningen!
Best wishes,
Chompers

Sausheim, France - 14th July 2008

Dear mum,
Today was a traveling day. I am in France now, just over the bourder with Germany. Our hotel is very good, the bed nice and soft, and there is a swimming pool! Too bad it is too cold to swim. And because we are soooooo tired, we just went to sleep!
Apart from the nice bed, the view from the window wasn't all that.
We had a nice diner, a good night sleep, and after breakfast it was time to really go to Italy!
