February 8th was my last blog, I saw. And now it's almost July 8, 5 months later. Months of getting my hospitality diploma (in German... after 6 weeks of training ✌), continue the renovation that has now been completed and how proud we are of the result!! (check the new photos under Rooms), get on Booking and immediately receive the first guests from the Czech Republic that evening, extend opening hours and be open on Monday because then there are so many in the neighborhood who have 'Ruhetag', death of Peet's dear stepfather Piet and many, many guests with very nice, surprising encounters and conversations. Like that German, doctor by profession, who takes a year out and has now cycled 3700 km via Greece and Italy .... on a bike without support 😜 ... or that couple from Latvia (preferred language Russian 😂) with large Harley-Davidson on trailer with them who book a night, see the room and immediately book another night... or the cyclist, completely rained, who orders a 'heiße Schoko' and calls it 'lebensrettend' (lifesaving) and enjoys it visibly and audibly or the man who at 20.30 hrs desperately and really wet to his skin at the bar asks if we still have a room and is overjoyed with the single room with sink and comfortable bed. How nice to please people and experience a moment in their holiday or transit journey.
We do what we want to do and we do it for ourselves.
And then there comes a time when a loved one dies in the Netherlands, a great friend, special man and partner of Peter's mother who had to give up the fight against cancer. How much we will miss Piet but how happy we are that he was here with the move in September last year and left his good advice with us. Fortunately, he has received and approved most of our progress. He has occupied an important place in our lives and he will never lose it again. With him in beautiful memories we continue on our path, towards the summer that is now erupting here. Live your most beautiful life NOW!!
Piet Nagtzaam - 10th October 1945 - 31st May 2022
We can never lose what we enjoyed a lot. Everything we love a lot becomes a part of ourselves... 💕
