Family Vos

A few weeks have passed and we have been having a wonderful, and very busy time.  We have spent some time in Prague after leaving our tour in London and have spent the last 3 weeks in Holland with our family.  For all of us this has been the highlight of our trip.  One of the many special things that we have done is attend a family reunion with all those who could make it gathering together at my cousin Marc and Rian's house on the 7th August. It was amazing to have so many of the Vos family together at once, and for me, meeting some of my cousins for the first time.  A huge thankyou must go out to all those who helped but especially to Marc and Rian, Brigitte and Robin, and to Vivien and Natasja for organizing and planning and working so hard to make this such a very special day. I have many photos of our time in Holland and will upload them over the coming days, and I will email as promised, the email addresses and contacts to all the family.  In the meantime I am uploading some photos and a layout I have done of our get together last week.

All those who could attend - from one generation

 To our family and friends at home in case I have not already done so I am also sending our new contact numbers.  We should be able to have these numbers while on the rest of our trip however we will have to clarify the international codes as the 31 in the number relates to Holland from which we will depart late next week.  Our mobile numbers are 00 31 686 157 625 for Annette and 00 31 686 157 626 for Rog.

  1. Hello Annette, Roger, Brodie and Matthew,

    Suddenly, I found the address of your blog in my mobile phone so I spent some time reading your nice stories! I also want to thank you for your 'thankyou' for the family reunion day. I also had a great time!

    Enjoy the rest of your trip and who knows... maybe Frank and I will visit you sometimes in Australia. I still haven't been there so it is still on my destination list. :)
