Well all good things come to an end. It's almost time for us to return to Australia but I would like to have one last get together. It involves all the people who once lived in the same high rise building as we did. Gert contacts as many people as possible and there will be quite a crowd. Cock 
and Anita, Marcel and Kitty, Reyer and Mieke, Gert and us of course. The decision is made to have a meal at Ben's ( a restaurant in Zevenhuizen ). This is nearby and allows people to have a drink or two. It is to be the following Friday and we
are the first to arrive. I have mixed feelings. I am happy and sad. Tomorrow we are returning to Frankfurt to catch our flight to Cairns, Australia. One by one everyone arrives and we chat the night away, catching up on 23 years and we talk about the good old days, get merry, laugh a lot and generally just have a good time. The meal is wonderful. Gary has been surrounded by people who are able to speak English and he is enjoying the evening as much as I am. When it is time for us to depart, Gert seems a little upset. I believe he enjoyed having us around and especially Gary. Seeing Gert struggle with his emotions makes me emotional too
. It is never easy to say goodbye for yet another number of years. This time I really enjoyed my stay in Holland and deep down I could have stayed forever. Back to a live I once knew, but I am married to an Australian who feels more at home in his country. Australia is a beautiful place and I also love my live there. I have Australianised and would miss Australia
just as much if I was to return here for good.
