We willen graag een weekje naar Zuid Limburg in het voorjaar. Wie wil de bloeiende bollenvelden hier komen bewonderen?

Some pictures to give you an impression of our life, our family.

We are retired and our home offers a lot of comfort. Our car is a Toyota Auris hybride. (automatic)
We like to make several short and longer exchanges through the year.
We do have a small garden surrounded by a wall. Several nice playground/parks are very near. (see map)

Castricum is a beautifull quiet village with good public transport. Easy to reach by train from the airports.
The beach is close by , less than 5 km. You can go by car. We prefer to go by bike.

Alkmaar, Haarlem and Amsterdam are some of the many very beautifull old cities.

After a period of preparing our exchanges, we had a lot of usefull contact by what's app. We have been in Tarragona during the Semana Santa in the beautifull house of Marisa and Salvador. We have enjoyed beïng in Tarragona very much. This very old and interesting city has very much to offer. We have very good memories of all the special events including also the building of "human castels". Really spectaculair and recommended. The last days we went to the beach in La Mora. It was really splendid. We have met Marisa and Salvador accidently at the airport when we came home. It was like meeting old friends.
