Oh man, you stayed there too! I was so humbled by their friendliness :-) I lost a 5$ scarf that I was even though cheap very attached to, and I left it in the hotel! I sent them an e-mail, with my address, with the question if they wanted to send it back home and if I could transfer the cost they made... They just replied "Yes, we found it, I will bring it to the post office soon" - And when I arrived back in The Netherlands it was already on the door mat :D

What can you tell me about those abandoned houses? I'm really curious because everything abandoned in the Netherlands is always demolished immediately! So I'm not used to seeing an abandoned anything here.
