In September 1998,
we traveled to the Netherlands, Portugal and England.
First we went with
Robbert's mother to Texel, an island in the north of the
Netherlands. We stayed in the town of De Koog, cycled a bit,
walked on the beach, and saw seals in an ecomuseum.

Next, we spent a night in Amsterdam with
Robbert's brother Charles and had a nice dinner with brothers
Jeroen and Charles.

Then it was on to Portugal! Robbert had
a conference in Sintra, a
beautiful town near Lisbon.

The last stop in our European
tour was England. We stayed for two nights in London, attended
the wedding of our friend Hakim in Weybridge, and then went to
Windermere, in the Lake District, where Robbert had another
conference to attend. Apparently, I ran out of film in London!
