LEONARDO in Holland: Week 1

WELCOME TO HOLLAND

Just about to check in weighed my bags everything was fine, weighed jasmins and it was like 15 kg over :/ so after alot of shuffling around (mainly jasmins shoes going in my suitcase haha) we was ready to fly :)

Landed in amsterdam airport at around 1.00pm, needed to hurry though! didnt want to miss our train! but we missed it, so went and had a bite to eat then jumped on the train to Lylestad.

Once we got to Lelystad we saw alot of bikes!

Marieke was waiting for us at the train station and took us over the road to the Province where we would be woring for the next 4 weeks.

Its a really modern building. ITS GOT A MOAT AROUND IT!!

We got introduced to the teams we would be working with, had a cuppa tea, jasmin had water :/ haha, then Anneka who is a project manger at the province, flevoand took us to our accomadation in Dronten about 20 mins away.

Waiting at our accomadation was Greeta our land lady a very stearn woman haha she tolds us everything we needed to know about the place and then we packed all our stuff away.

We decided to go and look for something to eat and do abit of shoping but all we found that was open was a sports bar haha so we went in there, after this we called it a night, ready for tomorrow.

The first day was here and as we went in i went with the team i would be working with and jasmin went with hers.

The first day went by really quickly there was alot of people to meet and alot of names to remember, i was working with karin she introudced to me some of the projects i was going to be working on Regions4GreenGrowth & Smart Europe and jasmin in the IT department working with Anneka and Michela.
