Looking For 42 
I thought I’d see pictures from the Netherlands but I have to wait. Hope you got snow in December. Is your Dutch still up to date Andrew?
Yes. I speak Dutch.
Nice, so you can speak perfectly with your grandmother : ) How’s Turkey for you?
I love Turkey. Last few days. Trying to book and Air BNB for a few nights because I don’t want to camp in the rain (only have a bivy bag with me) . Getting verified when you only have a foreign data sim is a challenge. Good thing Paul is awake so he could send me the magic code
Great! I love Turkey too, on all occasions I went there.
So, a bivy bag, that doesn’t protect you from rain, but does it against mosquitoes? (Which you too had a lot in Hungary) Here, we are in Albania now, it rains a lot too. We stayed two days in a hotel to avoid it, tomorrow we continue towards Montenegro.
I heard of AIR BNB but have never used it myself. Good Paul is helping out; praise the technique!
Enjoy Turkey the few days left, Andrew!
Bivy bag keeps me dry in the rain but it’s only a bag. So i would have to sit around in the rain before bed. And I do not have a stove or anything with me. I also like that air BnB lets me have contact with locals, which I enjoy
Same kind of approach as CouchSurfing of WarmShowers. I used that previous time I was in Turkey; stayed only with local families and WarmShower or CouchSurfing families. Great way to interact with locals! Enjoy it!
I was going to try Couch Surfing here but am too lazy. I don’t like to Couch Surf more than one night at a time. And I have four nights left (one at airport and three now with Air BnB).
I love couch surfing guests at home though. We get many requests. After this trip I will be home long enough to say “yes” to some.
Enjoy your travels
Hi Cinderella
I have almost finished updating my blog with the stories and photos from The Netherlands.
Andrew
That’s good work. When I miss the Netherlands I’ll have a look 😂😉
