Monday, Tuesday.

 

 

Last week the  weather here has been hot, hotter, hottest. Too hot to blog and do anything really. Just try to keep calm and cool.

The pictures  I am showing today are made by my granddaughters while we were in London. Like me they made a lot but I just picked a few for today.

 

 

The Dominion Theatre was almost next to our hotel.

They were showing “We will rock you” the musical by Queen + Ben Elton.We didn’t have time to go see it. Would have loved to.

 

We did use the subway a lot. The best way to get around.

 

So many people spending their holidays there. Nice taxi.

The National Gallery.

 

I am sorry but I forgot what this was.

London # 3

More beautiful London today and lots of color.

Of course there were the  busses, there must be thousands of them and the telephone booths in red.

Cab’s in every color, many in blue with brand names on them.Also yellow ones of course.

Notice in England driving on the left side of the road.

Because it was a very hot day there were lots of people having a good time in the parks. I can say in every park I saw. It looks so nice and friendly.

I don’t know what kind of bus this is, saw only one like that.

Jan from this blog  http://afanja.wordpress.com/author/afanja/ told me it might be an amphibiebus. Hope that is a good word.

I took this photo from the top of the double decker bus.

London.

 

 

As I said last week, we were going to London, me and my teenage granddaughters. We had a wonderful time, did a lot of shopping and went on a double decker bus to see the sights. The weather was beautiful, a bit (very) hot but who cares. Blue skies every day.

We only came back this morning but I already have some photos to show of beautiful London. I made over three hundred so it will take some time to sort them all out.

Sunday, Monday.

This is the third and last  post with photo’s of Volendam and Marken. Next week I hopefully will be able to show photo’s of London where I, on Monday ,will be  going for a couple of days with my two granddaughters, aged 14 and 15. They want to go shopping of course, LOL, and grandma want to go on a bustour and make photo’s. That is the plan.

But here still photo’s of Marken.

Monday, laundry day.

I am afraid I can’t come visit you on Monday but will try when I am back.

Thursday, Friday.

For Alphabe Thursday we had to study the letter H. I found Houses , Homes and Hotel amongst other words starting with H. Here some photo’s I made this weekend when we visited Volendam and Marken.

Bottom left our hotel in Volendam

Volendam, little houses in narrow streets.

Marken and a beautiful blue sky.

This is probably a little cats house, so cute.

Lovely gardens with all these little houses in Marken.

Monday, laundry day. Many housewifes in Holland still do their laundry on  Monday.

So here you see it hanging in the garden on a sunny day.

Tuesday, Wednesday.

Since we finally got summer around here we decided to take a break for a few days. We visited two of the most famous tourist attractions here in Holland, Volendam and Marken. The weather was beautiful and we really had a good  time.

I will show more photo’s in the next days.

Thursday,

When we were in Great Britain last year we visited the house and Garden of Great Dixter. It is one of the most beautiful gardens I ever saw. I made many many photo’s so it was hard to pick a few for this post for Alphabe Thursday led by Ms Jenny Matlock. But here we go, enjoy.
