We haven’t written many updates lately, because we were in the Netherlands for Christmas and New Year’s (and to renew my 6 months tourist visa – since I am not allowed to stay in Canada on Bas’ work permit). We had a wonderful, but very busy time and got to see many friends and relatives.
I am now sitting in a workstation in Edmonton airport. We’re waiting for our flight to Yellowknife which is scheduled in a few hours from now. It was a long trip back: yesterday we got up at 5 am to go to Schiphol. Our first flight to Chicago had a 2 hour delay. We arrived around 3 pm local time and were picked up by Michael and his mom. We had a wonderful time with them, a good night sleep and got up at 6 am this morning to go to the airport for our next flight, to Edmonton. Again, we had a 2 hour delay, but we’re happy the flight wasn’t cancelled. This was the case for many flights today, because of the bad weather (snow).
In about an hour we’ll be boarding our third flight, to Yellowknife this time, and our friends Robyn and Travis will pick us up at the airport. How nice!! Now, it is time to grab a bite so we can survive the rest of the evening.
More news about our two week stay in the Netherlands and pictures will follow soon!
