The fairytale day sounds like fun and some of the photos we saw on Facebook looked cool. I bet the biscuits were delicious! We haven't eaten much gelato since we left Italy, Hudson. We had crepes in Paris and stroopwafels and poffertjes in the Netherlands. Poffertjes are mini pancakes just a little bigger than a fifty cent piece! I had icing sugar on mine, but Ivar loves his in syrup!

Lest We Forget- The Holten Canadian War Cemetery
Boris says:
Today in the Netherlands we visited three Canadian War Cemetary Memorial. The cemetery has the 1,394 graves of the mostly Canadian soldiers buried here. There are also 36 British soldiers, 1 Belgian and 2 Australian soldiers who died liberating the Dutch citizens of the area from German occupation at the end of WWII.
The graves of each soldier has their service eg Navy, Airforce or Army, rank, regiment or battalion, the age they were when they died. They also have a personalised message inscribed at the base of each grave stone. The headstones of the Jewish soldiers also have the Star of David as a mark of further respect.
Each family in the small town of Holten looks after the grave of a fallen soldier. Each year on May 5 they celebrate liberation and fill the area with daffodils an on New Years Eve they light the whole area with hundreds of candles.
On top of many graves you find small rocks that visitors have placed. It looks odd, but for the Jewish families and soldiers, they represent tears that have turned to stone. Also, they say that rocks last forever, but cut flowers wilt quickly. I think that is a beautiful sentiment.

The South Tower
Ava, Lucy, Hudson and Miss Lewis: What other food have you tried? I have tried crepes, but NOT SNAILS! Mum forgot to buy them tonight. Oh well, too late. The macaroons tasted delicious. They are my favourite so far and so is bolognaise. Hudson, you can buy macaroons at McDonalds in Bendigo. They aren't as good though.
Alexus: Are you having fun? YES, I'm having super-duper fun. Going up the Eiffel Tower has been the best fun in Paris.
Caitlyn: How many hotels have you stayed at? We been to seven places so far.
Clancy: How tall is the Eiffel Tower? It is 324m high.
Aliza: Do you miss us? Yes.
Maddi: Have you had fun with Boris, how is he going? Boris is going very well. He loves travelling and me helping him answer questions from my class.
Mietta: What is the food like? The food is delicious! I love buying strawberries from the markets and eating croissants. Mum and Dad love the espresso coffee. Dad loves the chocolate croissants and Milana loves the pasta!

Boris in Paris
The Louvre is the world’s largest art museum. It is beside the Seine River in Paris. More than 9 million people visit it each year.
The Louvre was once a palace until Louis XIV moved to Versailles, and the Louvre became an art museum. You can find Egyptian antiques, ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, paintings by the Old Masters, and crown jewels and other artifacts.
