A day out...

A day out...

I have been invited with some other residents to visit some other residents who are on vacation, there celebrating there vacation in a place called 'Hellendoorn.'  Hellendoorn is five minutes from my old hometown Nijverdal, the vacation was a gift from a organisation, these 'other' residents are members from that organisation.The 'other' residents are a man and a wife, in other words a couple. The idea was to spend the whole day there, but we didn't make it that long cause of the bad weather. The man and wife were sent to a bungalow park, it's very nice there with lots of small bungalows, but oh so expensive. They vacation was free, and they got 40 Euro extra for grocery, even though that, nothing is free on that park. 

Shoes and slippers in front of the bungalow, I saw this many times before.

I liked it there but way to expensive, it's nice for old people to relax when your retired or have money enough. There was not much to do there for little kids, only the swimming pool (inside) was nice, we swimmed more then two and a half hour. It was a nice day out, something new or different then Humanitas for a change. The couple who invited us were nice too, they live aswell at Humanitas. Being there I could really tell the difference between the people who were with me and let's say the 'normal' people who rented the bungalows on the park. It's the behaviour that's different. Sometimes I turned my head or hided myself a bit,  just not to be embarraced by the behaviour of the residents who were with me. 

One of the bungalows on the park.
There behaviour is kinda rude and hard, there very open aswell, they say things just like that, no shame. I'm not like that, but I get along with them very well. I call the residents sometimes city folks. I had a very slow start of the day though, I thought, "Oh no, I rather go for a nap first before I leave to the bungalow park."  But it was to late already, later on after the 'swimming pool party I felt a bit better. I'm  really curious about my bloodresults over four weeks.  Upcomming Friday I need my second part of my medication for my thyroid, I should get medication for four weeks, but they splitted it up in two weeks. Friday I'm getting another serie medications for the next two weeks. Then bloodwork.

Very low bungalows but oh so nice.
The weather was okay and fine today, but aswell cold and here and there a bit of rain. Way to cold though for the time of the year, we sat outside the bungalow for an hour but went inside again cause it felt too cold after an hour. The swimming pool had a nice tempature, but it went colder after two hours of swimming. We ordered some food when we got back from the pool, we were starving. French fries with  little pieces of sliced onions, mayonaise and peanut sause. This unusual type of meal we call in Holland 'Patatje oorlog,'  (French fries war) what's in a name? Very nice though, I was starving, on top on the patatje oorlog I had a meatball. 

Nice right!
I had a nice day out, upcomming Saturday I'm planning another day out. I would love to go to a huge sauna somewhere in Holland, I know already the place to go, it's near the city Utrecht. Can't wait!
