And tomorrow is d-day.

June 30th, Delft

Wow... These last couples of days here in Holland have been totally fantastic. We went present-shopping yesterday in Delft. We got very cheap, but beautiful, giant jigsaws, balls, books, some toys and painting items. I really enjoyed walking across Delft (as I’m from here) and just talking to people and smile. After 3 hours of Sri Lankan present shopping, we picked up Pucho and went to eat in a place mom loves. I had never been there, nor my dad, but it turned out to be fantastic. It’s called KOFFIEDUMIDI and it’s an old farm (with still all the animals walking free around there) were you can eat breakfast, dinner or supper. We all ordered really Dutch food, and it was great. We talked and talked and almost stayed there 2 and ½ hours, but the funniest part came at the end, when coffee arrived. Just returned from the WC and by accident I throw a glass of water over mom. Ok, she got pissed, but everyone can have an accident. But then coffee arrived, and as soon as I got mine, it went over mom (AGAIN!!!). She almost killed me, she went bananas. The lady of the restaurant laughed, and Pucho too. One of the guys working there was really nice (and also handsome ;)). He also laughed, but to punish me, mom started saying things to him about me and I just couldn’t do anything! Hahaha.
I almost forgot, yesterday morning we also visited the Cataldi family! After years I hadn’t seen Luc, and he’s huge! I’ll see Tom today evening; we’re all going to eat together in their house.
But the next thing I’m going to tell really made me laugh yesterday. Mom and I arrived home at about 7 o’clock. I really wanted to see the football match (Spain-Portugal) so we decided to not tell Pucho and just tell him we had a surprise. But then, I open my laptop and see a long list of names. I stayed looking like “WTF?” and then I got it. It was the participants list of the 470- Sailors in Den Haag. I went to New Zeeland and there were 6 names. I just guessed and I did it well. The two train boys (Tom and Jack) are actually called: Finn Dummond and Francisco Lardies. Yes, they are New-Zeeland students, 19 years and on facebook. Yesterday I already spoke with Tom, I mean… Finn. My first two Ceylon Adventure Friends!!!!
Well then, I’ll upload some pics, and for the ladies, the blond one is Finn ;)
