Welcome to our world (if you can find it)

by tompt - last update: Feb 1, 2008

Noordeinde, our hometown

The way to Noordeinde ?
Noordeinde is a small village in Holland. In fact it is so small you can't find it on the map unless you have a very detailled one. Even authorities do not really know where it is. See the directionpost, notice there is no distance behind Noordeinde pointed to the right and notice our church about 1km straight behind the post!

We are sure it will never be a tourist attraction but if you want to know more about it, since VT added it to the database we build a Noordeinde page.

About our pages

All things are changing in time, so did our pages. Since we joined VT the website improved several times. See how much the VT logo changed since we joined. ~~~~~>

Most pages were built when we just returned from the trip and had all things fresh in our memory. We try to built all our pages in a simulair way. The newest will have more tips, as we now travel with a VT look on things. Always looking for great tips and pictures....

Links are added in three ways:
green links link to our own VTpages and open in same window
orange links are external links and will open in a new window
yellow links are links to other VT members pages.

Our birthdays

By populair demand: the birthday listed is the birthday of the first mentioned.
But if you think it is too difficult: Tom - 30 august, Gonnie - 15 september

158 pages in 5 years of VT

Celebrating 5 years of VT


Saturday the 28th of may 2005 we celebrate 5 years of VT !

5 years of making trips, pictures, pages and most of all friends. It has been a great time and we hope to enjoy many more years here at VT.

What did we do in those 5 years? We made pages about 158 locations in 36 countries. On those pages are 2234 tips and 20374 pictures.....
We visited 14 VT meetings, in 3 continents, meeting over 50 different VTers. And met 7 more VT friends for breakfast, lunch or dinner .

To make a long story short: it was 5 years of FUN !

Winter 2007/2008

This winter was short and its height was at december 22nd.

In the morning everything was white, but in the afternoon it was over.
Dead end street




Where ever we are going in the future, lets hope it is not a dead end street like this one........
Kijken, kijken, niet kopen(dutch saying)

Think before you buy...

PLEASE don't buy the wrong souvenirs. Bann the souvenirs made from animals or plants.

The dutch section of the WWF is campaining against wrong souvenirs.
The motto: Kijken, kijken, niet kopen. . It is a dutch saying meaning: look, look, don't buy.

A plant or animal is to beautifull and precious to become an ordinairy souvenir.




Any suggestions about our pages are welcome,
Tom and Gonnie
