On behalf of Sonya - Letter from Amsterdam

Hello!
Yep, I am in Amsterdam now. Toby and I have a temporary lease on a very
nice
apartment in south amsterdam, but think we will probably move in closer to
the centre in a month or 2.
It is kind of summer- a bit colder than Melbourne though!

Toby has had a couple of job interviews and I have been househunting. I
start job hunting tomorrow- that's going to be fun.
Amsterdam is so different to Melbourne- in fact it's kind of the opposite.
It's so compact- space is at a premium here. Apartment hunting is pretty
competitive.
We are planning on staying here a year, and hopefully saving some Euros to
come home with.

Toby is really enjoying his first time in Holland- and it's quite a long
time since I've been here- it's been really fun. A bit overwhelming though-
I got a bit lost today when I was trying to find my bike!
That's one of the funnest things so far- riding bikes everywhere- and even
the fanciest ladies have really old huckery bikes or else they'll just get
nicked- so there is no bike shame! The older the better.
In Melbourne it was a bit competitive!
Food is average- although Toby's in love with the Mayo and Febo- the fast
food post office box style place.
We are really looking forward to going down South and seeing the family. I
have been in contact with Jose- but she is now on holiday in Thailand. I
have contacted Bep, and will try again soon. We really need to get jobs!

I hope Oma has a lovely birthday and I've attached a photo of Mijn Oma-
it's
'carameljam'- we bought it today at the supermarket- it's caramel in a jar
and you put it on toast. I knew there was areason why i moved to this
country!!

Love to all the Nagels Family- hope you are having a great time,
Love
Sonya and Toby

Letters from Thailand

Monday 7 July 2008:

Well another day has gone, today we did a tour round the tourist places like the tiger, monkey and elephant places, didn't want to get too close to the tigers, they are really bigcats, the monkeys did quite a few good tricks but the elephants were pretty amazing, they played soccer sort of and were really good at painting pictures. Rose and Mike went for an elephant ride but I was just too chicken. Its raining lightly now and I've just had a nice swim in the pool to freshen up.Planning a lazy day tomorrow and may get the massage done by the prison girls, they also run a bakery so that might be quite interesting.Then Wednesday we're flying down to Phuket for a week or so.Hope all is going well in NZ, love from the land of smiles, Christina.

No problems on the plane, just a bit jetlagged still. Rose has got us some nice rooms to stay in an apartment building with a good pool which we went for a swim in straightaway.We are seeing the dentist today to see what needs to be done on the teeth. Hot and humid, traffic chaotic but I think we're fine. And great to see Rose.
