czechmate Posted May 18, 2005 Author #153 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Well Glowing Amber (Carol and Mike) are today winging their way home to USA from Hamburg. Wishing them a safe journey. What a pity that the weather was not the best for them. Still Carol could melt ice anywhere. Are Ken and Rhona still travelling or is Robyn the last of our group still exploring the travel bug? Robyn is in Switzerland and faced by a round of parties! That should keep the smile on her face. Pazielie - Paul and Sue - as others make their way home you two are getting ready to head off on that Baltic cruise. You have some wonderful ports ahead and we wish you a fabulous time. Let us know about it please. Love to cruz (Carol and Vic) hope that you received the pic and it might just have a little persuasive powers for Larry. Would be great to have all three of you with us next April. Take right up where we left off! Marge and Ernie too seem to be getting on with their plans for future travels!! Henri and Marian - what about you now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henri Posted May 18, 2005 #154 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Our plans are : - to go to my sister near Los Angeles for a week or so, she becomes 50 on september 3, so I think it's nice to visit her then. We are looking allready for a cheap flight to L.A. - we are considering a 24-day-tour through Java&Bali on Indonesia for next year in april. But first...from 8 til 19 june 2005 there is a "Pasar Malam Besar" (in Indonesian, it means Great Evening Market) in The Hague. It is the greatest Indonesian Market in the world outside Indonesia. During this market some 20 travel agency's are offering tours through Indonesia, so we will be going there to orientate. - Further we have to save some free days in case we get some visitors from the surroundings of Prockovice, Poruba, Marianskehory ( :confused:, :eek: ) (joke !!) . Or we go there, because we know two very nice, sweet, friendly persons there :D, whom we like to meet sometime. - And ultimately, we will take our son out for a few days a few times, in the country in a hotel or so, so that he has a kind of vacation too. So,... as we can spend our money just once, we will have to carefully. Henri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czechmate Posted May 19, 2005 Author #155 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Henri - Thank you for the information and it is good to see you have plans well in hand. Of course that birthday party is very important. Maybe we should come to The Hague for that indonesian market - it sounds very exciting - and we like the idea of the far east/indonesia in 2007 very much indeed!! Poruba, Marianskyhory, do you not know some people in Belsky Les? We think that they would be happy to see you! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henri Posted May 19, 2005 #156 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Is that around postal-code : 70030 ???:confused: Then you are right, that's about the area I mean.:D As to go to Indonesia, we will be the quarter-makers in 2006 !!:p Henri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czechmate Posted May 19, 2005 Author #157 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Belsky Les is the quarter for our home. Les is the Czech word for "woods". We look on to the woods and of course it is now a favourite walking area for our new family member Ricki. Had mail from Glowing Amber this morning to say they are safely home and Happy to be home :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henri Posted May 19, 2005 #158 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Czechmate, This market -pasar- is exciting indeed.:) And gooooood foood !! I spoke with the General Manager ;) in this hotel(?) and she said it's oke ! The cabin-stewardess informed the accommodation-manager ;) that the cabin is ready. The Hotel-manager said that if you have special wishes, like favorite wine or so, you can mail the Maitre-d'H.:rolleyes: Futher arrangments have to be made by phone or mail. :D Please a few days before. This commodore will take care that everything will be allright ! For the Far-East in 2007 we hope it will be China, for 2006 the plans are Indonesia. Of course I knew that Belsky Les is your living quarter. I put your adres in a computer location-site and the answer was right the way from Voorhout to there. Henri.

wwwmarge Posted May 20, 2005 #163 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Henri, I of course was off the board until today... what a treat this would of been. Maybe I could of fit it in between Venice and Berlin. Hey! If Carol can manage it I guess I could of. Marge & Ernie Dear friends,Mike&Carol, I am a few days off next weekend (5-8 May). So.... when you come to Holland we could do some things together, like visiting Keukenhof ;)!! If it suits you, let me know via cruising_henri@wanadoo.nl , so we can make an appointment. And...... (I'm sure Barry (and friends) read this), so Barry and friends, if it suits you (4 ?) too, let me know. We have a one extra 'cabin' in our house, so some will have to stay in our 'village-hotel', which is typical Dutch and cheap, bed and breakfast. It's just for sleep, we will pick you up in one minuut by car. This should be very special, allthough I understand it is on very short term. You all are very welcome, we looking forward to it and try to show you some typical, beautifull, pretty, nice places/things for (again/more) lifelong memories. Maybe going with a rowing-boat through the canals :eek::eek:!! Greetings/hugs Henri&Marian. P.s.1. Now I think some other readers will be jealous that they cannot participate in this.:confused: P.s.2. I am not a travel agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henri Posted May 26, 2005 #172 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Aye, aye, Barry I just received the tickets for June 17th :D , for the great Indonesian Festival in The Hague. Also found out that they have an English site: http://www.pasarmalambesar.nl/english/eng.htm It will be great when we go there, we are looking forward to it. Marian and I will go there too on June 10th., so we can guide you around on the 17th., as we know the way. :) Are you allready packed for your journey to England to join the World Dance Competition ?? Have a very good time and greetings from Holland to Czechija. :cool: Henri. P.s. it very nice weather here now, about 25 C., sunny, no wind. Hope it stays for the weekend. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czechmate Posted May 26, 2005 Author #173 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Henri - We received our air tickets for 17th this morning - so now it seems like it IS GOING TO HAPPEN !! Reading your message and visiting the web site it is very exciting and we look forward so much to visit it with you and Marian. Our very expert guides will make sure that we see THE BEST! Will the Queen be there to meet us? :-) I must soon start to prepare the clothes for the UK trip and then later pack everything. The flight will be 10.40 a.m. via Prague. Here too the weather is beautiful. Maybe the European summer has finally arrived. Greetings for you and Marian ...................and also for our fellow Opera cruise mates.

henri Posted May 26, 2005 #174 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Barry, Thanks for answering. No, I don't think you have to bring Czech-beer, keep it cool there til we are there :D We have our own reasonable quality (!) Dutch beers. If the Queen will be there......I don't know, but else we can go along her palace (like we did with Carol&Mike). Actualy, there are 2 palaces, one is where she lives and the other is her working-palace. Both not far from the terrain where the Indonesian Festival is. Keep the weather fine, greetings and throw an extra stick for Ricky. Henri. P.s. a greeting to each other is a greeting to the OPERA-gang !!! (nice proverb ) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czechmate Posted May 26, 2005 Author #175 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Just had an e-mail from Robyn and she asks me to please pass on her best wishes to EVERYONE and say that she misses you ALL: At the moment she is busy criss-crossing Switzerland and has practically no internet time till she is home. Is having a wonderful time. Will travel to UK 4th/5th June and then flies to Bangkok where she will be 6th/8th June and then - boohoo - sob sob - flies home to Sydney!! That is the city not a MAN :-) Like the rest of us it will then be reality looms!! Henri - I like the Proverb so ................................."Greetings and love" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
