17-21 juni 2013
Met dezelfde vriendinnen uit 2010 kwamen wij bij Olga, Maurits en Dief in 2013 weer op de 4 Vaargetijden.
In 4 dagen beleefden wij 4 jaargetijden...!!!
De zorgen en de hartelijke ontvangst zijn weer onvergetelijk!

May 24th - June 3rd

Down quiet canals we softly glide.
A gentle, peaceful calming ride.
Birds sing, squawk, cry.
Cyclists pass by. Trees rustle, sway,
and line our way.
Waves glisten, shine.....
This live is a rhyme
of sheer delight,
from dawn to night.

There is a ship's captain, Maurits.
Who goes into forty-five fits.
When asked for more cheese
Even if we say, "Please"!
He won't get a job at the Ritz!

__________________

Deef, the noble, brave and hairy,
Defends the ship from all that's scary.
Dog and mistress are united,
Obedient, caring, and devoted.
Through sun and rain and stormy weather,
They fetch the bread and walk together.
A partnership to envy this.....
That we could feel such trust and bliss.

_____________________________

Olga rules with quiet precision.
Every competent decision:
The healthy food and timely snacks,
The information, books and maps,
Enrich our day
And ease our way,
So when we moor,
Set foot on shore,
And wander free.....
We've lot's to see ....
Town, church, Gross-Markt ....
On our return to where we're parked
The ship is warm.
The beer is cool
Maurits perches on his stool
He twirls the wheel
And tells tall tales
Who knows what's real!
The evening meal
Will follow soon,
With wine and cheerful conversation
Three courses
Each with care presented
Holland and Belgium are represented
well with this great combination
Maurits and Olga

Olga and Maurits,
What a great experience. We arrived as strangers and we departed as friends.
Maurits, your wit kept us on our toes trying to decide if you were serious or not.
Olga's cooking was extraordinary.
Your hospitality made the entire trip comfortable and most enjoyable.
Of course Dief was such a great companion to all of us.
We hate to leave and will miss you all.
Steve & Elizabeth Segrest

Thanks once again for a wonderful trip. I can't believe this is our 4th vacation with you and we are already planning for our 5th in 2014. You always manage to cover every detail, despite having to deal with some demanding crazy Americans. Thanks for everything, we look forward to the locks tour next fall. Continued good health till next time!
Skip and Sharon Warrell

Beste Olga en Maurits

Een vakantiereis met de boot, wat geweldig!

Veel jeugdherinneringen kwamen weer boven, de vaardagen konden mij niet lang genoeg duren.

Ook iedere dag genoten van fietsen en/of wandelen en musea bezoek.

De geweldige verzorging en heerlijke maaltijden waren Toppie!

Dit was op De 4 Vaargetijden de eerste reis, maar hopelijk komen er nog meer.

Olga en Maurits wens jullie behouden vaart en tot ziens.

Lieve groet van Elma.

Bedankt voor de gezellige week. Het varen vond ik toch leuk, al was de eerste dag lang. Het eten was lekker en eigenlijk veel te veel.
Groetjes Joke.

Dear Olga & Maurits,
With my sincere appreciation of your warm hospitality and conviviality + tolerance for endless questions.
I would gladly turn around now + do it all again!
