So Autumn has arrived and we decided that we had better make the most of it while we can (we get the feeling that if you blink you might just miss it). The weather this weekend has been great - which in the Netherlands means no rain, no wind and temperatures in the mid teens.
We decided to head out to Kralingse Bos. The options for getting there from our place include catching a tram, catching a bus, or cycling. We decided to cycle! Kralingse Bos is the largest park in Rotterdam and there are loads of ways to spend time there. You can take your boat out on the dam, walk in the forest, picnic in a meadow, drink beer under a windmill, eat pancakes at the waters edge, visit a deer sanctuary or enjoy the various cycle paths.
So, with a title like "Autumn Colours", there really isn't much point in writing too much. Besides, a picture is worth a thousand words...

And returning at the end of the day to my (Justin's) favourite colour this Autumn!
Today (Sunday) we had Nicola (Justin's cousin), Mike and their son Aidan come to visit. It was great seeing you guys and we hope you enjoy the rest of your time in the Netherlands and Belgium.
