The updates...

Friday, July 21

London: Lesley and I woke up in London very early that morning. We decided the night before we were going to shop today. After having breakfast in the hotel, we headed out and took a metro to Oxford Circus.

Oxford Circus Station

From there we walked across to Oxford Street and Regent Street where we shopped at stores like The Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hennes & Mauritz (H&M), French Connection United Kingdom (FCUK), Benetton and Fossil. We were in and out the stores trying on clothes, shoes and headware. We shopped for hours that day and only took a break to go to Starbucks Coffee. The last store we went to was Hollister by Abercrombie, where the guy practically had to kick us out because it was closing time :-)

We decided to order room service, so we headed back to the hotel to admire our best buys. Both our credit card took a dent that day... but whatever... you only live once, right?

After that I was on MSN with Jeandrina on my laptop, untill it was time to close my eyes.

Chatting with Jeandrina

Holland: Jeandrina was enjoying her vacation. This day my parents took her and some friend to go go-karting in Haarlem and they made a day of it. They closed it by playing a game of pool... and anyone that knows Jeandrina knows that she can beat the pants off of anyone with a game of pool! That's my girl!

Curaçao: R., Floris and the rest of the KLM crew were enjoying there 3 day lay-over on the island. And anyone familiar with KLM crew knows that the one thing they like most is to hang on the beach the whole day! Thanks, but no thanks! I am done black already, so I don't need to be hanging on a beach the whooole day. Ja, daaaaaag! So yeah... they just hung out at Porto Marie.

Later on we took the bus and headed to Knightsbridge. First we went to Foot Locker and then we were going to the most famous department store in the world... Harrods. Again... Lesley and I shopped untill we dropped. This time it was at the better brands of Burberry, Dolce & Gabanna, Versace etc. After the shopping we had dinner in Harrods restaurant and finally took the metro back to the hotel. We were beat!

Holland: My Mom took Jeandrina and my brother's girlfriend Mandy to Diergaarde Blijdorp. That's a zoo in Rotterdam. And from what I could see on the pictures and from what Jeandrina told me, they had a great time.
