It's been such an amazing experience. The city is so full of culture and identity that is both centuries old and so recent. It's easy to feel like you're everyone's best friend and no one at all!
We've been to many interesting galleries in which drugs, nudity, sex and harsh images are pretty common, yet all have been interesting in their own right. Be it the art, content or theme.
On Friday we had BLUE SKIES and yes you guessed it - SUN! It reminded me of home having those clear, fresh winter days. It's amazing that I don't realise how much I miss a good dose of vitamin D until it shines through the skeletal trees.
We've met countless Aussies and even went to 'Melbourne Canteen' - a truly Aussie cafe - on Australia Day where we sang along with a guy who was taking 'Australian Pub Requests' as he called them. Stellar!
Now after the partying, the art, the graffiti, the weird, the wonderful and by golly the falafel, we head to Amsterdam where we will all discover a new city together. Even though we will only be there briefly I am excited to absorb a new city and culture, and to share this experience with the girls.
Each day I get more excited to head 'home' to Groningen and set up my own new life. I can't wait to start playing again, to find the nice coffee shops and set up my own routine!
Love to all at home and over the world.

You are too cute in your plaits!!
