Brian and I were being "wet backs" and working without papers on the beach at Camperduine in Holland. Our pay was room and board and the odd Amstel. Dirk, in all his generosity, felt that we should have a day off so we visited another friend, Ruud Francissen and toured the ship Batavia. Now with the rule,"no work, no food" we had to source out a typical Dutch supper on our way home. We languished in the typical Dutch restaurant, taking our time , watching the ladies , eating our food and then proceeded back to Dirk's. Dirk greeted us at the door with "you just missed Hanno, where have you been? He waited over an hour." What a disappointment. We explained that we had been taking our time and had supper at MacDonalds.
Thankfully Hanno took the time to return the next evening and we kept him up until the wee hours talking. We had a great visit and caught up on all the gossip since the last time we met while in France. Geoff was there then, but unfortunately for him not this time, so we started a few rumors about him. Thanks to Hanno for making the drive twice and returning home very late.
This photo is of Hanno getting his grab bar via Bruce, Jiff and I don't know who else.
Cheers,
Barry
