London: This day Lesley and I went to a male beauty spa outside of London in Birmingham. We had to take the Virgin Train to get there.

After about 2 hours we arrived at the spa. The whole day we were pampered with massages, sauna's, facials, aroma therapy and delicious food. In the evening we took the train back to London. We were both really tired.

Curaçao: The 73 hour slip in CUR was over for R. They had breakfast at a restaurant in Punda in the morning and the rest of the day they just rested in the crew hotel. At 17.00 they had to report at Hato for the KL 785. Everything went smoothly and R., Floris and his sister Brie had a great flight.

Making a few stops at interesting sights, we then headed to Houses of Parliaments with its world famous clock tower... Big Ben. I can't tell you how many times I have been there! Let me dig up a few old pics!

Londen is een leuke bruisende stad. Geef mij Londen over Parijs of Rome! Ik ga over 2 weken! KLM had aanbiedingen vanaf Rotterdam Airport.

Spreek je gauw, Ry!

Hé schatje? Hoe is het daar in Dordt? Luister ik heb het de hele week druk met werk, maar ik zal je zo spoedig mogelijk een belletje geven.

Goed om te horen dat je nichtje het naar haar zin heeft in Nederland en dat jij een leuke tijd hebt gehad in Engeland.

Kusjes!

Leuke post. Ik ben net zelf ook terug van vakantie zoals je weet Ryan. Ik was naar Bali. Een prachtig eiland met veel dingen te zien. Enig gewoon. Mohamed en ik hadden gewoon een prachtige tijd daar.

Het IPB-en was wel minder. Heen konden we met de KLM helemaal naar Jakarta via Kuala Lumpur zonder problemen. Van Jakarta naar Denpasar konden we ook gewoon mee op Garuda. De terugweg was een drama! Denpasar-Jakarta met Garuda was geen probleem. Jakarta-Kuala Lumpur wel. KLM heeft ons ge-offload en we konden niet mee.

We probeerden met Singapore Airlines naar SIN... ook niet! Uiteindelijk konden we met Thai Airlines tot aan Bangkok. We hadden gelukkig IDZM gekocht. Nou je kan het al raden... BKK is iedereens IPB nachtmerrie! Met de ZED tickets mag je ex-BKK alleen gebruik maken van Lufthansa, Thai, EVA en KLM. Nou LH was dus vol en ook TG. Uiteindelijk kon Mohamed met EVA naar Amsterdam. Hij moest wel eerst want hij moest werken! Een paar uur na hem kon ik met Thai naar SIN en daar ben ik uiteindelijk met AF naar CDG gegaan. Vandaar ben ik met KLC naar RTM gevlogen. Maar goed... IPB... je weet hoe dat gaat hè?

Alles verder goed met je? Is je nichtje al terug naar Aruba? Had zijn geen problemen met het IPB-en met de AF Buddy Pass?

Goed, ik ga straks naar ma en pa is Leischedam. Ik spreek je gauw!

Tot ziens, schat!
