Vil joined at the 15th and Payroll closed for the 14th and therefor he will NOT be paid end of March, he need to wait until end of April for the first payment. Six weeks with NO money.
They put us in a wonderful, high standard, totally overpriced guest house, but we need to buy the toilet paper ourselves. The cutlery, plates and cups are the cheapest IKEA one and the ONE pot, the ONE pan are even cheaper supermarket stuff. Fully service is something different.
And they paid an unbelievable 150.- Euro a day to the rental agency.
In a retrospective it was completely nonsense to put us in such a house. We didn’t wanted that and the relocation agency was aware of it. We explicitly asked for a small place with dog, nothing else. Come on, we slept the last weeks on the floor of a Yoga Studio. We don’t need that…. We need food, money for the ticket and medicine.
Vil’s new job really sounds like fun. Location Amsterdam City Center. Ten minutes walk from Centraal Station.
NOICE! 🙂

This morning at 06:30 we woke up, arranged ourselves, cleared our stuff and went to the train to go to the airport. No coffee with Teresa and no walk with Jack. Sooooo, sad! All our life fits in three boxes and we are on the move.
First good thing for today: Vil just needed one journey on his T-10 ticket to go from Badalona to Barcelona Airport. The whole journey was only ONE journey in my T-10 ticket, priced 99,5 Cent. 🙂
We arrived at the airport and there was a huge queue at the KLM check in counter. Vil wondered where to drop me and went directly to the lady from priority boarding, asking for help where to drop me and she told Vil, that she would be happy to check us in. Second good thing for today: “Now we are priority. Thank you nice lady from KLM!” We don’t need to need to wait in the queue.
Brilliant. We saved around one hour standing and plenty of stress for me and the luck for our journey didn’t finished yet!
There’s more to come…..Â
The nice lady did all the paperwork and after thirty minutes it was time to say “Goodbye to Vil!”, but not before he drugged me with the herbal medicine he bought at the Vet, more about that later.
And there is another good thing for today:
Vil got priority boarding in the plane as well.
Plenty of legroom for him! Sweet!
I needed to travel in my box. It was a bit scary, cold and loud, but all no problem, because Vil got some herbs from the vet for me.
We took a taxi and finally arrived in our new home in Amsterdam.
There I made already some friends in the shop under our flat and (good thing number three) Vil got a free coffee from Nike, the nice lady at the counter.
We feel really welcome.
Thank you.
Good thing number four: “THE FLAT IS AWESOME!”Â

Boxed and packed. Goodbye Barcelona.
Tomorrow we go by plane to Amsterdam. I need to travel in a Dog Carrier Box and I really don’t like it.
Today we met our dear friend Ana and like real tourists we had, we had a pizza and coffee at Sagrada Familia. It’s time to say goodbye to Ana. In Spain, we found a few friends in Spain and she is definitively one of them.
You are a good friend and we are happy meeting you. You did more for us anyone can ever expect to do for a complete stranger. You have a big heart and I will never forget that you arranged the dog hotel, when Vil needed to go to the hospital. You gave us support and sometimes Vil a shower.
It was a real pleasure meeting you, walking through Barcelona, talking, laughing and having really nice food.
Ever your Indy

We will move to Amsterdam Sunday morning. Everything is arranged, we go by plane, then a taxi and welcome new home. Goodbye Spain, from now on we will enjoy Dutch lifestyle.
I am only five years old, but I already lived three countries. I was born in France, then we moved to Germany for a few weeks, now we have been a year Spain and next week I will add the Netherlands to my list.
Hmmm, I need to learn to bark Dutch and that’s a real challenge because they have sounds, I don’t know. Chhhrrrrhhhhhzz… That is just fantastic. How should I bark at the Dutch boys?
How is it to live in Holland? Naja, for the beginning we are sorted. Please see our fucking amazing temporary home in Amsterdam. For the next thirty days, we open our door to all our friends. If you are in Amsterdam, please feel free to visit us.
Here are a few pictures of our new home. Sunday at 18:00 we will sit on our terrace and have a drink on you all.
