The last day... 5 weeks we have been on our way and, like always, it feels so much shorter in the end. Tonight we will be home again and tomorrow we both start working again. We try not to think about it, yet.

At eleven the sky very suddenly turns totally dark and a strong wind starts to blow; rain pours down for fifteen minutes, but just as suddenly as it started, the weather changes and the sun starts to shine without any wind blowing. When we say goodbye to our friends and leave after lunch, the thermometer tells us it is already 30 degrees. The journey goes very fast; only near Hamburg we have to drive slowly, but it is always very busy there. When we enter Holland, the temperature has dropped quite a bit, but we expected that, since we saw the weather forecast on the internet. After exactly 5 hours we are back home again, after 5 fabtastic weeks. We make a short phonecall to tell Annemarie we are home and she tells us we have forgotten 'our snake'. When she opened the door, just after we left, she saw the biggest ringed snake she has ever seen.

Well, how to end this story... Are we glad to be back home? Maybe for some few comforts, but when we would have the opportunity to leave again, we immediately would. We are already looking forward for our next adventure. Soon!

To end the story we will soon write a sort of conclusion, a short summary of the ups and downs of this holiday. Next to our jobs we will be busy updating the website with information about the countries we have visited and checking everything. And don't think we are ready with travelling yet, not for a long while! Thanks for your attention in following this travelogue and we hope that you, reader, may have many beautiful voyages as well.
