The beginning of our move from Leiden to Leidschendam has begun this morning as the movers arrived to take about 1/3 of our furniture and the boxes I’ve been busy packing over the last 6 weeks. Seeing our belongings stacked up is a stark reminder that we have entirely too much stuff. This is definitely a lot different experience than our overseas move when we weren’t allowed to box our own things so we couldn’t smuggle anything and all our furniture was wrapped in bubblewrap to protect it in case the container took on water. We thought about trying to move ourselves, but with the crazy stairs in this house it just isn’t worth it. So we’ve hired a guy with a truck that does a lot of moving and handyman work for the local expat community. He’ll come back on the 12th, the day after school finishes, to move the rest. We’ll definitely make the most of these final two weeks on the river.
