Beanie's Trip to Holland, Day Four!

Thursday was our last day in Amsterdam!! We had breakfast of cornflakes, coffee....

 and bread and orange marmalade!!! Yum! 

 Then we had to pack up and leave!!! (But not before we had lost letterbox number three somewhere in the youth hostel near reception!! heehee!!)

 It was foggy today, and the park looked eery and quiet....

Bye Bye youth hostel!! It was nice staying there!

On the way, we spotted some geese near a canal! Then I remembered that we still had some cake left over from our train ride the day before!!

So we stopped to feed breakfast to the geese and the moorhens! They really liked it too!

The geese don't like the seagulls much though - they chased away all the gulls that tried to get cake!

On the way to town, we passed a Cheese Shop!! That's my favourite!!

Well, apart from chocolate shops....

Coo, that's really weird, seeing canals in the fog...!

We walked past the Flower Market too!

And then stopped for coffee! Andrea said I could have the biscuit!

We saw this statue outside too!

I don't know what his name is but he's nice!!

I had three wonderful cards to lose on my way, so I tied one to this bicycle!

We said goodbye to the horses too.

And we said goodbye to the scarey lions here!!

RAHHHRRRR!!

And we stopped for lunch! They didn't have French Onion soup today, so we had tomato soup instead with extra French bread and butter.

And then it was time to head up to Centraal Station...

We met Bunny at a Candy store!! He doesn't look very happy - I don't think he's allowed to eat any candy. That's not fair!!

OH!!!

At the train station, we got on another double decker train that went to the Air O'Port!

We found a big Globe of the World at the Air O'Port!! I found some of the places I've visited!

We lost my last card in one of the ladies toilets at the Air O'Port!!!

We had to wait a while before they told us which gate to get out plane from...... so we sat and watched this plane get loaded up!

WHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I love take off!!!

We didn't have any food on the way back because we weren't hungry so we just watched out of the window!

OH! We're back over England again!

I think the passengers all had beans again for dinner last night - there was lots of wind blowing us home fast!!!

Coo - I wonder what part of England that is?

That looks a bit like the Isle of Wight but Andrea said if it was, we've gone too far down the English Channel...... and we'd be landing at Bournemouth Airport instead!

We're turning round now...!!

Well, we landed at Gatwick so it can't have been the Isle of Wight....!

Because Andrea had a biometric passport, we went through the e-control this time. All we had to do was scan her passport, have her eyes looked at by a little machine and then the gates whizzed open and we were allowed back into England!!! We then waved goodbye to the riffraff still standing in line and got an earlier bus back home!!!
How fab is THAT??!!

It was a lovely evening too.....!

When we got off the coach, we saw this painted onto a Telephone cable box!!!

We're home!!

We had lots of mail waiting for us at home, including A Package from Jerry and Ben and a postcard from Hammie from his mini holiday before we met him in Groningen! That was funny!

Between me and my friends, we all found 16 elastic hair ties in two and a half days!!!

Even Uncle Harry was picking them up for me!!!! Hahahahahaaaa!!!!

We had to mend Ickle Bear's face (his snout had become unstuck) and then I showed him my new mouse, my squished penny and my musical Spending Money that I found!

And best of all I got a new stamp in my passport!

What a lovely holiday!!!

Thursday 1st April

Yesterday, the 1st April, Andrea said I had to come to work with her.

After we got off the bus, we walked past this shop!!!

And Here's my Own Seat at Andrea's desk!!!

And I saw my friend Goosey!! She laid a chocolate Egg for me!!!

After that, we played with some elastic bands! That was funny!

I love Chocolate Eggs!

before we went home, Andrea let me jump up and down on her Keyboard!

She said it's called "Typing".

On the way home, we stopped at Internet Cafe and put up an On Line Workshop on the http://www.beaniemouse.blogspot.com/ blog.

Secret Santa!

Last Wednesday, Andrea said we had to go to Work, to get something special from Secret Santa.

What happened to all the snow??! It's gone!

Well, at least all the buses are running today!

When we got off the other end, we saw this pretty sparkly tree in a window!

Ah, I still have my own mouse seat on Andrea's Desk!!! (And now Hammie has one too!!!)

While Andrea was working, I looked at all her Christmas cards! They're very colourful!

Oh!! They have a tree here too!! With presents underneath!

Coo! How exciting!

Then I saw my friend Goosey and we had a nice long chat!!

We started playing games later on, and I climbed into this stocking!!!

PRESENTS!! We got a present!!

I helped Andrea open it and we got some more smelly gloop (Andrea said it's not realy vodka, it's smelly stuff you use in the bath!!) and we also got some chocolate!

I love chocolate!

Andrea had this big pink ball hanging on her desk!

On the way home, we saw this shiney Reindeer in a window!!

and lots of sparkly lights in windows!

We put ours on when we got home and put the presents under the tree!

Andrea got out a special Santa box and said we can put the chocolates in it!

How fun!!
