No white Christmas, but maybe ice skating?
Weather forecasts show temperatures below zero for the next couple of days, so many people are getting the ‘fever’ again and have gotten their ice skates from the attick and started preparing for skating on natural ice once again. Some people are already dreaming and mention the E-word already…

Our daughter gently reminded her grandfather that he once promised her to buy new ice skates for her when it looked like the ice would get thick enouigh to skate on. So they went to the shop and our daughter got a pair of new ice skates. Now all we can do is hope the weather forecasts are becoming reality

Holidays are over, back to the daily routine…

We have had 2 wonderful weeks in Alvor, Portugal.

Ok… we
missed our flight, by the time we arrived our accomodation was
overbooked, the car we rented had an empty battery twice, but we didn’t
let those minor issues spoil our vacation!

We had a wonderful time in a beautiful environment, nice climate, nice people and a hotel room that wasn’t bad either.

Compared to our 2007 vacation in Alanya in Turkey, this trip to Portugal was much, much better. More relaxed, better temperature.

The Algarve region really has a lot to offer for us, so choosing the location for next year won’t be very hard…

Our son Remco had his birthday today.
