Pannekoeken
Friday we took off on a day tripp to Zeeland to see the Delta works and go to the beach. We left Utrecht at 9:30 in the morning and came back again around 22:45, I was home about an hour later - I thought I was getting lost because my buss home just kept going and it was all dark outside so I didn't recognise where I was ... but I finally came to my street, yay.
Dutch panncakes are not like the swedish ones. They are huge. And very jummy. After a very long day of biking, walking around at Neltje Jans (Deltapark) and taking a boatride after which we got back on our buss and drove to the beack we finally got to eat at a pannekoekenhuis. It was a very tired and hungry group of students from all over europe that happilly tried to order their panncakes in dutch.
Oh and I also discovered a swede in the buss to Zeeland, I heard someone say "pennskrin" so I said "ahh, du är svensk" n then we spoke a little swedish but switched to english pretty soon. The italians/french and germans are hopeless in that way - they all hang with their countrymen and speak their own language. Kind of pointless in my opinion, if I want to meet swedes I might aswell have stayed in sweden. Never the less, it is quite nice to run into a swede now and then. But by now I'm so used to talking english (with a bit of dutch here and there) all the time and I was allready mainly thinking in english before I got here that it's a state of normality by now.
At Neltje Jans there was aguided tour... one guide for 53 people. We decided that it would be pointless and studied the map to decide where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do.
It was a great day and great fun, but the tiredness was unbelivable afterwards. Another day trip comming up on friday again! Before that theres disco bowling on wedsday that I might actually go to.. seeing as I've neveer bowled in my entire life that might be a fun experience.
I'll try and be better at updating things here, the weekend has been rather slow except for friday. Saturday I sleept in, took it really easy and then we went out for a few drinks. Watched Knowing in the middle of the night, and went to bed awfully late, or early depending on how you look at it. Today has been lovely, yes that about sums it up. A lovely sunday.. as sundayish as they get.
