Utrecht-->Zeist

I am currently waiting in a massive line at the Palace of Versailles in Paris, so I thought I would pass the time by catching up on some blogging.

We slept in for the first time today because our only real goal was to get to Zeist today. Brad woke up in a panic when he realized that he had left his camera at the Mexican restaurant we went to the night before. He immediately went to the restaurant to check, but it was closed. We checked out of our hotel and went to get lunch, and passed the restaurant again on the way. It was open! We went into the deserted restaurant and asked the cook if he knew of a camera left. Luckily, it was there!!! Brad was ecstatic and we could begin our day.

We went for delicious kabobs and bread (I was trying to avoid eating a sandwich, but that is seriously all there was) at Uniq, and then went to see the old church. It is called St. Peterskerk, and is 1000 years old. Pretty awesome. It wasn't as impressive as the Domkerk, but it is certainly neat. We went to a cute little museum with candy and antiques. We also walked through the Dom's gardens, which were beautiful! I was doubtful at first, but now I'm waiting in line for an hour and a half so far to see Versaille's.  We walked around after this, booked a hotel in Paris, and then relaxed on a patio.  We then caught the bus to Zeist.

When we got to Zeist, we got off at the wrong stop because we took a different bus number than usual. This meant we waited five minutes, hopped on the same bus, and then got to our correct destination. We then walked to Mark and Margriet's!

When we got to the Spruijts, we sat outside and ate on the patio. Margriet had prepared a delicious Indonesian dish for us!  We had lovely chats and played with their four-year-old son, Erik. We then relaxed and had a drink before bed. Now, European houses are strange. I was shown where the bathroom was, and I went in there to get ready for bed only to discover there was no toilet in there! The toilet, Brad laughed, was in a separate room. Strange!
