I've always felt a little reluctant to drive in another country - the other side of the car on the other side of the road. I'm a very good driver so I should, theoretically, be a pro!
This year, in August, I will have been driving for 20 years...yes, 20!!! Every time I've been to The Netherlands I've been told I should try to drive the car in Makkum - the roads are quiet but I've chickened out at the last minute. Instead I've watched Matheus' parents and sister drive, all the while watching and trying to build up some confidence; after all, it will be their car I will be driving. The good thing about driving in The Netherlands is that the driver is insured to drive any car whereas in the UK it's the car that's insured.
I finally mustered up the courage to drive the car this month when we had a lovely weekend in Makkum celebrating Matheus' Mum's 60th. It was just Matheus and I in the car and Matheus was filming.
One thing you can take away from this; the Makkum resort is so lovely!
Thanks to Matheus for filming and to his parents for the use of their car.
