What with a cheap Indonesian restaurant and cheap bungalows De Lier sounds like
paradise maybe we should move there :-)

We sat on a restaurant terrace in Enkhuizen on Sunday and paid EUR 25 for two
portions of bitterballen, a Guinness and an orange juice. The good news was that
although the terrace was crowded there was only one person smoking. How things
have changed in the last few years.
