And now, we wait.

We didn't want to break the habit of visiting the Volkswagen dealer early Saturday morning so we drove down around 10AM. We ordered the car but we would let them know the colour later today or on Monday. We wanted to see a red one too so we could decide between black or red better.

The dealer has a red demo model on show in a few shopping malls that they will raffle off (tickets are $50 each and only 9000 tickets are available). This weekend it's in the mall next to the Central Market so we drove by to check it out. It's actually a very nice red and I like it better than black. Nicole likes black better still though. I dislike black less than Nicole dislikes red. I know, it's very complicated. We thought about it while doing some shopping at the Central market.

We went to the deli to get some Dutch stuff.

Our friend Danny seems to have issues finding a certain bean that's called 'kapucijners' in Dutch. We got plenty overhere... Should we send some down? (Or is that up?)

There is a stand that specialises in roo-meat. We got Karin some roo.

By then we had decided on the car; black. We called the decision through, paid a $1000 deposit and now we wait 4-5 months for the factory in Mexico to produce one and ship it over...

This is my loot from the deli: Chocolate flakes for on bread, crisp-bakes to make meatballs with and 'kruidnoten' which I can't be arsed to translate.

We received word from Richard that he had 'heaps of meat' to get rid of and he needed help. He really is the BBQ master. My steaks are always perfectly well done.

Max the beagle kept a close watch on all ongoing activities.

gefeliciteerd met jullie aankoop, je moet nog wel even geduld hebben.
euro shopper is het eigenmerk van Appie Heijn, en goedkoper dan de A merken.

I'm just gonna have to cycle to AH for my "dun peas". Strangely enough Dirk only has the expensive HAK kapucijners. They do have cheap canned chickpeas tho; v nice too.

Geweldig, zelfs vlokken! Die heb ik vanmorgen ook gegeten op brood. Lekkerrrr!

En eindelijk jullie auto besteld. We zullen hem dus pas over 4/5 maanden zien. We wachten rustig af.

Kleine correctie: Appie verkoopt Euroshopper producten op de Nederlandse markt, maar het is een internationaal product. Je vindt ze in meerdere landen in Europa.
