Monkey Farm
First
we got on our buses and met our fabulous bus drivers (shoutout to Bert for
teaching us Dutch and making bad jokes). The trip to our living accomidations
was fantastic. Tulips, windmills and sleep. Evvvvveeeerrrryyyywhhhheeerrre. As
we arrived to our destination, we settled in to our better than expected rooms.
We had our first meeting of the tour and met Jan and Henk who personally have
been taking care of the Dutch end of the tour. After the meeting we went on a
little walk down the street to the Monkey Farm. Half an hour later, with aching
feet and tired eyes (we’ve been awake for almost 24 hours at that point), we
finally arrived at the Monkey Farm. We not only got to see and touch monkeys,
but we got to be monkeys ourselves with cool rope swings and radical slides and
such. After coutless hours of looking at monkeys’ behinds, we finally got to go
back to our living quarters, only after walking back. When we finally got back
after the walk, we were treated to a wonderful meal, only after waiting a
little bit more, just a little. Finally, we had our first Dutch meal served by
our wonderful, bilingual chefs. After our meal we were scheduled to have a
practice. We fell asleep too many times during dinner and we highly doubted we
could make it through a practice. Thanks to our spectacular managing director Rob
Bennett we didn’t have to practice!!! And then we went straight to bed.
Xoxoxo love you mom and dad and liam
