Holland is HOT and I don't mean in the hip, happening, trendy, NOW! Sort of way - I mean literally melting into a puddle of bodily fluids hot! But your African blood can surely handle that I hear you say (sarcastically) but I'm a Jozie girl (I haughtily reply) and am used to dry heat! Its so darned humid here - the humid where you have cold shower and still sweat ...
Scott is handling it very well though and Mart and I tend to just sit and do as little as possible while drinking loads of energy drinks. Sleeping is also a nightmare and as usual I am the main fare for all the Uithoorn mosquito's .. I'm sure if you look into "The Mosquito's guide to the Netherlands" they have my address as a 'must see & do' ... The little buggers!
Oh before you think this is a rant .. let me reassure you that this is just a record of the hottest 3 weeks I have EVER experienced in this country - 3 weeks with temperatures above 30 degrees are surely worth a mention :-)
and if you don't believe me have a read ...

Hi Liz! Have not gone through your blog in ages and decided to do that today. Reading up on everything that I have missed out on and obviously smiling a all pics of Scott. I do need to comment on your weather! How about you come and visit me (Dubai) over winter or summer. Our winter months does not see less than 25 degrees as a low and lets not even mention the low in Summer. I am still trying to cope with this drastic change and I hear you when you say you are used to the dry J'burg heats. Love you guys! Big kiss to Scott
