First on our Europe trip 2012 we visited Florian's parents. Ludwig and Inge live near Venlo, which so happened to host the "Floriade" that year. As it's name might suggest, that it was a feast of worship to Florian by the commoners, it is not. It is actually a flower and landscape expo which Holland organizes once every 10 years. Together with Florian's parents we visited the exhibitions and are now up to date on the latest trends in landscaping, very useful for our balcony in Santiago!
The next day we went to Roermond to see Florian's brother Robert, his wife Annique and their two little rascals Julie and Fleur. Somehow Sinterklaas (Dutch Santa Claus) mixed things up and delivered the presents for Julie and Fleur to Chile. Luckily we were just on our way to the Netherlands and could drop the present off to their rightful owners. In the evening we played some twister with the girls, and Julie demonstrated what she learned during summer vacation: CHESS! She almost won against her uncle. Thanks for having us, we had a great time and hope to see you all again next year!
