Amersfoort, THE NETHERLANDS: December 2013

I changed into my hoodie and posed with the Beware Rat signs.
My friends and I arrived on Europe’s mainland on the 17th. We celebrated with – of course – chocolate and I told my new hosts all about my adventures in Schotland. My cute Scottish paper rat/mouse also got some chocolate!
Trek treated to a dinner at BK's. He's not too familiair with the Dutch kitchen yet...
Who needs words when there's love..... ! My host asked me to give her some advice regarding retiling her bathroom.
This is the outer moat.
 Upon arriving in Amersfoort my host helped me unpack. I posed with her rat signs and she showed me some of the rat-related art in her home. I helped her prepare medication for her rats and got to choose from a million (or thereabouts) food bowls!
The following day we celebrated a belated Sinterklaas together with her stuffed rat/mouse collection. I received several gifts.
I went along to the hardware store and advised my host on how to renovate/repair her disintegrating bathroom.
Before leaving for her parents for Xmas, my host showed me around the historic town of Amersfoort and we enjoyed dinner at BK.
I had tea with two of my friends and I went on a date with one of their sisters! (She rides a motorbike!) I also gave some folks (and a baby camel!) a ride in a wooden cart.
We celebrated the first day of Xmas at my host’s parents’ home. I wore my new crochet booties and scarf.
We visited my host’s brother on the second day of Xmas. It was chilly outside, so I wore my big hat and scarf while feeding the birds.
