25 April 2008: On our way back to Amsterdam, we decided to again stop by the Amsterdame Bos and visit the goat farm. We had so much fun there when we first arrived to Europe. And, we wanted to see how big the baby goats got, get more raw biodynamic/organic goat milk, cheese and eggs and lunch. Lunch just as good as the first visit. Their menu is very basic: soup, sandwiches, snacks, desserts and ice cream. But, we like the way they incorporate what they have into the menu. We had two kinds of soup, goat cheese and tomato. Then, an ice cream sundae with pistachio and vanilla ice cream (pistachio was AWESOME, both made from goat milk), caramel sauce, whipped cream, and ground pistachios on top. This put me over the edge! The weather was nice, so we ate on the patio with the chickens and neighborhood Rotweiler. Just like our drive a couple days ago to the center of Amsterdam, the farm was much more crowded than 2 months ago. The weather is getting nice, so I guess people are starting to come out of the woodwork!
After lunch, we got a baby bottle full of milk to feed the baby goats. I never even noticed how big the babies we previously fed had gotten because there were new, smaller baby goats now there. They were just so darn cute! This time I took Kailani into the pen. They were also so very soft! They do like to nibble on your hands when you are feeding them food pellets and nip at your buttons, but they don’t really have teeth either.
In the afternoon, we checked into the last campground of this phase of the trip, Gaasper Camping Amsterdam, a peaceful, yet lower-key atmosphere with nice facilities. The rest of the afternoon was spent doing some final packing and letting Kailani play in the nice grassy area where the camper is parked. There is a little stream right next to us and the ducks sometimes come around to visit.

Hey Yo-
I've been keeping up on your Blog and that too of the Galassi's...
Unfortunately, I most likley wont be able to make use of the snowboard tickets...but I am going to meet Chris and Heather in Amsterdam. Im making note of all the cool things to do and see that you have mentioned in your travels. We're then going to go to Ireland and then back to US. I cant wait.
If you know of anybody that may want the ski passes, email me back and I can make the connection. I really thought I was going to use them and may have but my trip to Europe has Superceeded sledding in baking hot, dirt dry cali., and oregon too. O'well.
Have fun and take care,
