    This weekend, from thursday to sunday, we went to visit Lenny and Roel in Holland. And I can truly say that this was a great weekend.
    We both felt very very welcome and your hospitality and great welcome,made us feel like home :)
    Lenny and Roel had some surprises for us, but we didn't know what it was... so we was excited !!! and BOY what great surprises :):) (you'll see later in this thread, with the pictures and the videos).
    I hope to see you and the kids soon again :) I know your girls are ready for that, since Anouk was ready to go home with us :);) Allthough both she and us never understood one word of what we said to eachother :D:D

    And I have found out that you have to take care what you say on F-chat... people remembers!!!!!! :D
    I once told that I have never tasted Olives... so down at Lenny and Roel... they have bought me some Olives :D
    ANd saturday when Alexander and Kelly and little Mathias, visited from Belgium... Kelly brought some Taramisu... because I've once told that I haven't tasted that either :D
    Kelly... thank you for letting us taste your great homemade Tiramisu!!!! Don't forget to mail me the recipe ;);)

    It was really great to meet all of you !!! :)

    Some of my pictures isn't very good... but they are there!!! And proofs that we had lot's of fun! :)

    After that we went for a long trip to the other side of Holland, to see one of the surprises that Roel had prepared for us. :)
    One of the big surprises that made Carsten go insanely happy was that we visited Jan Lammers, the Dutch LeMans driver!!!
    He was a really nice guy !!!! And let Carsten sit in his LeMans racer! And gave us a yearbook with his autograph in it!

    Roel... that was really a great Surprise !!!!!:):)

    .........

    After looking at all these great cars, we went for dinner at a restaurant in Hilversum. And we was sure that this was the last stop for today :D
    But during dinner Roel asked what we would say if 1.5 mill Dutch people was watching us :D:D:D I almost fell of my chair!!!
    He told us we was going on a show with Barend and Van Dorp, as spectators !!! :D It's a debate program.
    This was pretty funny!!! I Didn't understand one word of what they were saying :D But I got to see how a show is made, and that was pretty interresting!!!
    I have no pictures from there, as it was not allowed :)

    Later on saturday, Kelly, Alexander and Mathias arrived !
    We was sitting outside in the garden (we've had about 24 degrees all weekend... very nice)
    We had a great afternoon !! It was nice to see you again Alex and to meet Kelly and cute Mathias too :) (And thanks for the very delicios choclate!!) :)

    Later Lenny made us a great Italian dinner, wich I enjoyed very very much!!! And I got to taste Mozerella cheese (normally I do not like cheese... but this tasted soo great... don't forget the recepies Lenny ;);) )

    Later when it got a little cold outside, we went inside to taste Kelly's great Teramisu!! Wow I could get addicted to that :D

    And as you see... we had a great time!

    Sunday, before we had to leave for Arnhem, we had our last REALLY GREAT SURPRISE!!!!!
    Roel took out his Ferrari Mondial and we was supposed to go on a ride... wich we did :) Roel, Carsten and the kids in the Mondial and Lenny and I in the Alfa.
    We drove to the Marina and we all got out of the cars.
    Then Carsten got the opportunity to drive the Mondial together with Roel and I. We drove through a part of Roermond and Carsten loved it!!
    Then they tried to convince me that I had to try to!!!!!!!!!!
    I have never been driving a Ferrari before and I was not sure if I dared to try! :D I would be devestated if I did any harm to the Mondial.
    But they convinced me that I just had to try on some small roads without any traffic. So we went to a Industry area where I tried some small rounds on a small road !!! Hmm that was a LOT easier than I thought and MUUUUCH MORE nice, great, fun yeah it cannot be explained!!!!!! :D:D:D
    But those of you that allready own a Ferrari or have driven one... knows what I'm talking about !!!!!! :D

    Then I got out of the Ferrari again, and thought that Roel and Carsten would drive the Ferrari bach to the Marina.... but nope... I had to do that... through the town and traffic :D:D I DID IT and I LOVED it !!!!! :D:D

    Now the pics and vids of it ;) And as you see... a Mondial isn't built for small women like me *LOL*

    THANK YOU SO much for that experience Roel !!! I'll never forget who was the first one to let me drive a Ferrari !!!!! TRULY you gave me a great great great experience !! :)

    Hmm I'm not sure if you could call it a full-blooded Ferrari driver :D:D:D
    It has to be up to Roel to tell if I did allright ;)
    At least I didn't stall the car or something similar :D
