Lauwers lake, lauwers meer .lauwer oog, esonstad

Yesterday in the morning we woke up and made plan to see Wijbren’s grand parents who are staying in the nursery house. Obviously they couldn’t speak English and it was kind of weird stay there ,but I liked it and shortly we pass by another part of the village and visited his aunt as well.

As far as I can say they all liked me and enjoyed being there too.






Then we drove towards the Esonstad which is a very old city in medieval time and that time by flood washed away and they rebuilt it.

The city was too small and basically no one lives there and if you want to stay there you need to pay a couple of hundreds Euro to stay .The structure is quite nice and lovely ,all houses one or maximum two

storey and chimneys on the top and some duplexes.
In most narrow brick made streets you could see flea market every where ,selling stuffs and buying some second hands things as well.

After that we went towards Lauwer lake, which is one of the North see lake that one side is with seet water and another side is salty water This province is famous for wind and the lake on the North further was so windy and in fact a lot of sign the border between Groningen and Friesland along the Waddenzee shore lies the Lauwersmeer. The nature reserve accommodates unique plant species and has been a National Park since 2003.




Round the water of the lake the Lauwersmeer with its bicycle and aquatic sports facilities has everything to offer to people looking for recreation.People were there for Wind surfing and sailing, which gave the nice view to the lake.






We had nice fish and chips there for a couple of Euro and then we moved towards Lauder meer, which was nice lake that you could get ferries go to the Islands on the North. which are few Islands good for swimming and beaches are nice in fact.

We are planning to go there in one day tour as the Hotels there are really expensive for nights to stay.
Today is Sunday and Family together and parents went to the church and we stayed home and relaxed a bit and I have got a terrible cold with this Dutch weather, as I didn’t bring warm clothes…

I am hoping get better for tomorrow as we go to another city by train for Wijbren’s documents and shopping.

Trip to Holland and Hagge

Trip to Holland
Our trip started on July 22end ,after staying one night in Beijing and rest a bit we woke up 6.30 A.M and took the Metro to the airport and got ready for flight at11.45 which had half an hour delayed.
The flight was great and majority of airhostess were Dutch, not Chinese which made our life a bit easier. Wijbren’s parents were waiting for us at the Amsterdam airport and we went to his province on the north and it took around 2 hours to get there.


The Netherlands has a rich vein of artists running through its history including the Dutch masters of the 17th century such as Rembrandt and Vermeer and of course the famous painters of the 19th century such as Vincent Van Gogh. These painters to this day are considered to be of enourmous importance to the history and development of Art as we know it today.

We finally finished our trip in China after around 3 weeks and Tuesday 21st of July flew to Beijing for the third time as it s as been already in this summer .

Me and Wijbren both were so tired and after 2 hours trip inside the Beijing got our dorm, but we were so lucky and got a nice dorm and watched some movies and nerd around. Today 22end of July we had such a night mare. Beijing weather is incredibly terrible .

Well to me it is the reason to be chosen as the capital in fact. Anyhow sometimes no offence to Chinese nation life is so hard in China and live with these people as they don’t follow some simple social behavior.
Anyway passing Metro in Beijng is solving some problems and causing it’s own problems as well.

Our flight had delay to Amsterdam and before getting on board, another clever idea came on Wijbren’s mind and that was abut exchanging his currency. As cod guess what happened. The exchanging machine kept the money and we had to wait 20 minutes till airport staff come and sort out the problem.

Then I faced with another ridiculous problem and my Chinese Visa was damaged somehow and I don’t know ,maybe poor quality of Chinese print and now I am praying the way back to China I don’t face with another stupid case. Well I am carrying the original letter which proves I have a job in China for this year and copy of my visa. Hope our trip will be safe so far. As We had so much stress these couple of days.
