Back in the Netherlands at Last!

Our taxi arrived at the airport on time to take us to the airport in Lisbon.  Without much hassle we checked in and went through security to wait for our flight on Ryanair.  With Ryanair's tight turnaround time we found ourselves waiting outside in the cold for about 10 to 15 minutes; waiting for the passengers on the arriving flight to disembark first before we boarded.  As soon as the last one was off we were allowed to board the aeroplane.

The three hour flight went smoothly and we landed at Eindhoven airport.  We had thought

of travelling by bus and train to Breda and then catching a bus to Rijsbergen but with quite a few changes, heavy suitcases along with the chilly wintry weather, Paul decided it would be best to catch a taxi direct to Rijsbergen despite the cost involved.  The drive from the airport to Rijsbergen was just under an hour, door to door.  

It was good to see Paul's mum, Betty, and Melvin - her cat.  He's trying to make up for lost time now, enjoying plenty of affection.

Today we have been unpacking, re-packing and relaxing.  Tomorrow we are heading to England.  We just seem to be on the go...
