Today's big story is all about the meeting up with Terry, Tom's younger brother, and his wife Kathleen, who have just retired from their work in Western Canada, and are making their way back to a new home in Donegal via a trans-Atlantic cruise.

It was a great day, all round.
Kathleen phoned from town in the late morning, and we met up shortly after lunch, taking some refreshment in the "Victoria Hotel". From there we progressed back to Middlewatch, noting that Sixhaven was as crowded as ever.

We spent the afternoon on Middlewatch, conversing, reminiscing and catching up with their internet, and later we returned to the city.

After some short searching, we enjoyed a fine dinner in a typical Dutch brasserie, before setting off on an eye-opening tour of the red-light area by late evening. An experience! (But we had to become knowledgeable, so as to act as proficient tour guides for our next visitors)

We finished off the evening at a pavement cafe in the main Dam Square, agreeing to meet up tomorrow morning, with our next visitor, daughter Nuala.
