OCTOBER 14, 2015
We had a free weekend in the middle of our third research trip. Since we were close to Holland Roger decided to take me there to the town I lived in as a 14 year-old. We booked a bed and breakfast in Wageningen on-line and it turned out to be a really fun place. Our room was on the top floor of a house on the Dutch historical register.
B & B Guesthouse, Hinkeloordseweg 13, Wageningen, The Netherlands
Our room was the top one on the left twin dormer.
Looking down the very steep Dutch-style stairs (almost like climbing a ladder)
Our charming room
As children my sisters and I called rooms like these "tent rooms"
The only drawback was that we had to go out into the hall to get to our bathroom.
But it was modern and spacious.
In the morning I looked out our window and saw the Gymnasium I attended for a year.
It's the building with the pointy tower.
Our hostess served us a breakfast in her dining room that was so generous I couldn't eat it all.
Although you can't tell from the picture, the dishes were pretty.
We asked for hot cocoa and it was served flavored with anise (a popular flavor in Holland).
Oh, how neat! What a charming B&B, and so close to your old Gymnasium! I'm so glad you and Dad took the opportunity to go to Wageningen. It looks like a beautiful place. I want to have a home that unique and pretty as your little room and bath looked. It's so neat to see a snippet of all of the places you and Dad have gone on this trip. You are certainly making so many wonderful memories, as well as revisiting memories of the past.
