We flew into Amsterdam and were met by Rob and Joop, two ham radio operators that I have been corresponding with over the past year. (See PI4W) for more information regarding my ham radio adventures. The first thing Rob presents us with are these fuzzy wooden shoes! |

|
| We picked up our rental car and followed Rob and Joop to Rob's house in Bodegraven. Stayed a spell and then drove to our B&B in Reeuwijk (using Rob's TomTom), one town away. Here is a picture of our B&B. | |

|
| As you can see, the roads are barely one lane wide and take a bit to get used to. | |
 |
|
| Just a few days after arriving, we were guests of Rob and his family for a traditional Dutch dinner. | |
 |
|
| Rob and his wife and Carol and I, were guests of Peter (right) and his wife at a most wonderful restaurant in Bodegraven. | |
 |
|
| Nearby Reeuwijk and Bodegraven is Gouda, renown for their cheese. Here is one of the cheese shops we visited. | |

 |
| One afternoon, we drove to Delft and visited the Jan Vermeer Museum. Remember Vermeer's Lady Writing a Letter with her Maid? Here are Carol and Lottie, Rob's daughter, reenacting the painting. | |
