Do you see what I see? Come along for the ride...
I read about farm
camping before I left on tour and this little farm just outside Edam was
fantastic.
A parade of nosey ducks
were at my home base in minutes as I started to unpack.
Initially I thought it
great country hospitality but then I figure out it was they're normal scam as
everybody fed the cute ducks. And yes, it was hard to get them to leave after
you gave them a little bread.
The working farm also had chickens and a dairy.
My neighbors Gerard
and Corrie van Paridon were across the way. Corrie carried on a long
conversation with me in Dutch. Finally I went and got a young translator at the
campsite and she said Corrie was inviting me back for coffee when her grandsons
would get there and they could translate.
Floris and Matthijs
from Bussum arrived about an hour later and we chatted about their grandfather
starting a trucking firm, how he was a great historian and how the couple had a
huge family that would come visit while they camped.
Everyone is so
welcoming even when you don't know what anyone is saying.
