We are back home!!!!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Hi Pettalk!! We arrived back home from the sea around noon. OMG, my ears . Inka was yawling like a doggie almost all the way back home!! Everytime she heard a voice, she started all over again:rolleyes: . Guess she was yelling: "Lemme out of this prison!!" . Maya was quiet and a very good girl !
They rushed into our garden immediately, sniffing as they had been away for ages ! It is amazing how many flowers appeared in one week!!
We had a great week! At first the weather was cloudy and misty, and as we were on the 8th floor, we were trapped in a dark grey cloud . But luckily, we didn't get any rain, so we went out for many walks! After 2 days, the sun came out . Maya and Inka acted weird at first, but later they felt very much at home. Maya loved our bedroom!! Last thursday, Indra's boyfriend arrived too; he also brought the sun with him!! he is a sweet boy!!

We took tons of pics, about 160 :eek: . I promise I will resize lots of those and post them here later. But please, have a bit of patience, as I have so much stuff to unpack. On monday, I will have plenty of time, as my hubby is going back to work then.
So keep coming back, you will be rewarded :cool: ;)

I will add an "EDIT-message" on bottom of this post, so you will know ;)
Oh my, did I tell that I am SO happy to be back on PT?? I had a quick look at the new posts... :eek:

EDIT!!! LOTS OF PICS ADDED!!!!!:cool:

Looks like a nice time. I think it's neat the cats got to go with you. Wished I could pack mine up for trips.

Glad to see you back and thanks for sharing the pictures. I love the beach but I have to enjoy it through pictures.

[sandragonfly]

No, we couldn't see any stars..:( ... . Although the weather got better every day, there still were lots of clouds in the sky, mostly in the evenings :( .
But, we saw pretty cool things on "the ground"! Did anyone notice the patterns in the tiles here: there are shrimp, crab, fish, sea-horses, etc...

We drove about 1 hour eastwards, to the Belgian coast. We have the North See here! Our village were we stayed was "Wenduine", which is 15 km NE of Ostend.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

What a wonderful vacation! I'm glad the sun finally came out and I can see why Bernard is your happy book reader - the sun is beating right in on him! :D

Great pics, Lut! I'm glad you had a wonderful time despite the cool temps. :D
