Welcome to our world (if you can find it) 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

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 ! |

| 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 |

Geen nieuwe fiets hoor, gewoon een gehuurd exemplaar. Een fiets past helaas niet in mijn Peugeot. En daarbij ... moest hij zijn fiets mee hebben, dan zag ik hem van de hele vakantie niet en dat kan echt niet de bedoeling zijn. | starship Tue May 26, 2009 16:49 UTC
Hello Tom and Gonnie, thanks for signing the postcard from the Kortrijk VT meet which Margaretvn sent me. Hope you both had a great day there! Sylvia | Sharrie Sun May 24, 2009 13:11 UTC
I feel so bad for not saying hi sooner! How are 2 of my favorite VTers doing? Any chance of a visit to Shanghai this July to catch the Solar Eclipse? | brooklyned Sun May 17, 2009 08:35 UTC
Dear Tom and Gonnie, It was a pleasure to see you once again in Kortrijk. I thought it was a fun day. (I know more now about 1302 than anyone else in the U.S.A.) I hope you have more great travels soon! |
