Metal monday george and Nina

Well not quite as epic our Ninja dress up day, but a good attempt all the same. Top points to George who went all out, i seemed to be a softer form of Courtney Love which just didn’t cut the mustard against Georges kick ass eyes

my attempt at being brutal.... hmmm...

Rotoma; the second annual occurance since the tradition was established. Generally theres a whole lot of eating, drinking, talking and laughing all accomplished in with the considerably relaxed state that Rotoma seems to set upon you.

Great location, Great friends, Great times.

The Gang; Nina, Adam, George and Chris

Ninja Day at Malarky. Need i say more, our awesomeness speaks for itself.

Also a sneak preview at Adam’s top secret “Hot” project which is in its development stages. That Sauce deserves alot of respect it is dangerously delicious in a ridiculously hot way.

Wow what a blast. What can i say. Ive had THE most amazing time here in Holland. Ive met beautiful people beautiful places and had beautiful experiences. I only hope that i return in a few months for this was truely a awesome trip and there is much more to be do and time to be spent with the wonderful people ive had around me. Pieter took me to a very flash resturant last night by the name of Boreas ive never seen or tasted such divine food. It was like Science and design infused in this equisite aray of flavours you can just not imagine. Im really struggling to describe our meals, everything was so inventive and so delicious the texture, flavours technique and time put in to such a incredible sight and taste was just incredible. What a special night i will not ever forget…. and at 150 Euro i should hope not!

The last ten days have been so hot and so enjoyable, visiting lakes that once were frozen when i arrived here. Biking with Anna to the A3 which is a huge lake and many thousands of dutch and belgium people visit and soak up the sun in the summer months. Relaxing with family in the garden sharing laughs and eating and talking amongst eachother, het was zoooooo Gezellig !! Its been so special…..  yeh.. im pretty speach-less now, but its home time for now, mum is where its at. Thunderstoms today so it seem like im taking the good weather with me.

Tot ziens Nederlands (see you later Holland)

love Nina

Hey all

Well the weather has been delightfully warm here, infact the the most sun Hollands had in the first weeks of may! The 70 hour average has been busted by the 130 hours we have had in the last week.  so as you can see theres been alot of outdoor doing as 20-4 drgrees has been a nice temperature to be getting out ad about. I joined pieter as he starts his fitness sceme back up. i was his refreshments assistant as he ran 16km in 1hour 10mins. Had some nice photo oppotunities on the way too as you can see… With all the sunshine, we’ve recently had a brief wizz around the yard on one of Franks 4 kids motorbikes got a deal on, picniced out in the sunshine and had a BBQ at Franks with Pieters other brother & Anna ( his sister). This weather has been is a real treat before I head back to New Zealand its been super cool to be out and about in the sunshine, as i seem to be following winter around the globe. As for work; I have been assured I remain first choice of the position I applied for and as it is not currently vacant I have a primary need and want to be with my mum and be there for her until the vacancy frees up for me. Taking life as it happens.

Show Jumping and Dressage Event

Pieter & I headed to an international three day equine event in Eindhoven on friday, I spent most of the day drooling at stunning horses and swearing in oath to myself that i will be back into my riding in the next ten years. So quote me now haha!

Queens Day!

Well after a late evening out on Queens night in Eindhoven showcasing some very famous DJs we took off the next day to Amsterdam for the heart of the celebrations to check out what all the fuss was about.

Heres a few more shots from my visit to Germany a month or so ago during which carnival was kicking off .

Hey people

Pieter and I had an awesome day road triping to the west of the Netherlands today to visit the province of Zeeland, and yes it is the area that New Zealand was named after. Its a delta area of islands and man made islands aswell as dams to stop the sea from flooding Holland. It was rather obvious from the top of the man made hils/storm walls that the houses were significantly lower than the sea, pretty interesting sight really! You will also be glad to know we didnt leave the house with out a kite and most importantly a frisbee!

Look what i fished out of my photo folder ….  Mmm warm fuzzies about home :)
