May-lea's roadtrip to the Netherlands

Hello Fellow elftowners. I'm [May-lea]. You might know me or not. I used to be a badge-maker before I started working. Well, my job contract is ending on Halloween, and as well-deserved hollidays, I decided to go to the Netherlands visit some of my friends. But as I'm going to travel for a month -I might go to England as well, as I have some friends here to visit, too - I'd like to try and write about this roadtrip here.

Of course that roadtrip is not just about visiting place, it's also about meeting people. Finally talk for real to those people I've known in Elftown, and let them show me - given they have time to spare, I know i'll be the only one on holidays ^_^, to show me the places to visit.

As a side note, I'd be happy to be able to experience the dutch life by living with them for one or two days. That way the trip will be cheaper and the experience richer.
If anybody's interested to welcome me, don't hesitate to comment this page.
Techincally, my trip should last from the 4rth or 5th of November (I need to move out of my flat, get a few things ready before starting the trip) till when I feel like stopping it. Could be any time between the 30th of november and mid-december.

Till then, I have to figure out my trip, get the dates, and get everything ready. So the sooner I'll know where I go, the better.

As I will be leaving from the south of France, I'll be going through France and Belgium before reaching the Netherlands, from which I plan to take the ferry to England, go to see some of my friends studying in Middlesbrough, and then i'd be coming back, maybe travel some more before eventually going back home.
If anybody's out there... ^_^

2005-10-19 [Urmando The Elfling]: Hello May-lea, Fonz here from Leeuwarden.... The netherlands! We had some contact last year, I don't know if you remember me. So you wanted to take a look in The Netherlands, and the Dutch way of living? If you like I can show you half of it (grin...) Because I'm Half Dutch, Half Indonesian... ^_^ But I'll guess you would find my Art Studio very interesting! And by the way, I also just started a course in Webpage design. One of your last tips was also about, how to put pictures on the Elftown site, remember? Ok Miss Frédérique I wait for your responce, Have a nice day! Greetings: Fonz

2005-10-19 [Sunrose]: You know already you're welcome at my place *hugs* :)

2005-10-23 [Janouk]: I'm [May-lea]. You might know me or not. I used to be a badge-maker - If people don't know you they don't know enough about this little big town! ;-) So, you're going to try and dance on wooden shoes? :p

2005-10-24 [May-lea]: ^_^ thanks ^_^. I don't know if I'll try to dance, but at least I'll try to see windmills ^_^

2005-10-30 [May-lea]: Ok, so here's my plan so far. Leave for the netherlands at the beginning of November. There, visit one or two people down the south, then drive up to Amsterdam, take the ferry to Newcastle towards mid-november, as I plan to stay for there for my friend's graduations, and also try to find a job in England. I'd come back by the beginning of December, and would drive north to see [Urmando The Elfling], and then I'll go back down, visit the people I haven't seen yet and drive back home, maybe stopping here and there on the way.

2005-10-30 [May-lea]: Now I have to decide exactly who I'm going to visit before and after England, and for how long. It mainly depends of the people ^_^. Does that sound fair?

2005-10-30 [Sunrose]: Fair? It is all up to you ;) Anyways, all I have to add that if you want to stop by here it depends on when I have school. Because I don't want to leave you sitting here by yourself :) So perhaps everyone you want to perhaps visit should say which days they are free...

2005-11-03 [May-lea]: True indeed ^^. If you have dates n which you DON'T want to see me, Or days you're more likely to be there, please say so, As I intend to leave quite soon and I need that information to help me plan my trip... If you want, don't hesitate to mail me: frederique_montouchet@hotmail.com . That can be useful for instance, if you'd like to provide me with an adress to meet or anything like that ^^

2005-11-06 [Hedda]: Gah! I'm too slow in my brain! I could have followed you from Belgium/France! There are cheap flights there from here. I suck at thinking in time, I guess :-(

2005-11-07 [Aikon I]: if you're going to Janouk... do share... i live about 40km from her. we could turn it into a little Et meet up. don't know you yet, only heard about you, love to meet Et'ers

2005-11-10 [Melocrie]: Thanks Frederique, I had fun^^ If you wanna see my pictures, just e-mail me!!

2005-11-10 [Sunrose]: Show us too :p

2005-11-11 [May-lea]: I'll put everything online as soon As I have the time to write down everything. So much adventure takes time to be told ^^

2005-11-12 [Hedda]: I've renamed the pages, because pages with / in them don't get exported properly.

2005-11-12 [May-lea]: Thank you so much, master [Hedda] ^_^

2005-11-15 [LegendofJelda]: Man, I don't think I've ever seen so many windmills as I have the last few days ;) - and I was always under the impression that the windmill overflow was another false Dutch stereotype. Guess not huh. Hope to see you again!

2005-11-15 [Sunrose]: lol xD

2005-11-16 [Melocrie]: See, Frederique makes you notice things that normally are so commen to you ;)

2005-11-16 [May-lea]: ;) Tourist spirit!

2005-11-19 [Urmando The Elfling]: Well, well, well.... So, you are enjoyning your Dutch Trip till so far...?

2005-11-20 [May-lea]: Yes. And in England/Scotland too... I'll be back in december... I might need your adress, maybe, at some point ?
