Never mind grey, Joburg has had bright clear blue days so far for most of the winter...

In that case I should be able to use December, January and or February too since that is my winter. :)
Right now it is very warm over here and it is far from winter.

What did they think of Amsterdam?
We have had very funny weather this year. A couple of weeks ago it was freezing at night and just a week or 2 later we had one of the hottest days on record. And we kind of skipped spring. We went from winter straight into summer.

Well they have just spent a month travelling all over Europe, they went to literally almost every country. And they said Amsterdam was one of there absolute favorite places. They also said they loved the food! Which is a huge complement coming from them because they eat out A LOT and they are very picky. But most of all they said it was beautiful :)
Wow! They must be exhausted. It wouldn't have left them with much time in each city.
Amsterdam is a very funny city. It is The Netherlands but like on steroids. All our ideals and freedoms are very clearly present there and right in your face. It is definitely a city for tourists. I am glad they liked it. I hope you will come and see it for yourself someday and I will give you a tour when you do!
