- At Maria's home, I slept in one of her son's room, as he had gone to join friends for an overnight gathering.

- In the morning, her husband bought fresh aromatic bread from the village bakery, and we also had eggs, cheese, ham, and tea/coffee.

- Maria and husband then brought us to visit her school.

- After that, they drove us to visit the famed Kroller-Muller Museum, but first, not without having morning refreshment of tea and ooh-the-best apple pie.

- The museum has some of the best works of Vincent van Gogh, Isaac Israels, Auguste Renoir, Paul Gauguin, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso.

- We were then driven to Arnhem, where we had afternoon tea. I had the most satisfying Pea-&-Ham soup with crisp bread.

- After returning back to their home in the evening, they picked up yummy Chinese-Indonesian restaurant food - sweet sour fish, satay in peanut sauce, keropok, pork chop in gravy, stirfried vege, fried rice, and white rice!

- Then, Maria drove us all the way back to our accomodation!

- I thank ABBA for blessing me with such a warm Dutch hospitality experience! Hallelujah.
