The view from our hotel window in Landgraaf

What do you expect to see through your hotel room window? Certainly not this!



We are in a beautiful hotel "Landgoed Overste Hof" on a lovely lake which was built on the farm, its still a working farm but only with a few animals left.  
Very charming place and great for having a break from a big city like London (which I still consider the best city in the world).
Today I had a very enjoyable an hour long run around a lake and surrounding woods.  While running I passed by a few fellow runners and cyclists and all of them were greeting me with "hoy".  Nice!

Tomorrow we will be heading towards Germany, leaving this beautiful country. One doesn't actually see the borders, only sings informing you that you're in a "different country". Amazing, isn't it?
Stay tuned!

Breakfast at Landgoed Overste Hof Langdraaf

Having breakfast while it's raining heavily outside, it's quite enjoyable.
Very nice view but it would be great if we can go out cycling, It's Netherlands after all.
We're here until tomorrow so not much time left to see the area.

Snowboarding at SnowWorld Landgraaf


After two and a half months in London we're again on snow. 
SnowWorld Landgraaf, Netherlands is the largest indoor slope in the World. There's even a proper chairlift which at first sight feels weird but is much needed since the slope is 520 metres long with a total of 35,000 m² of snow.
