Oh Father, I have a smurfy affair with Venlo :D

Dear Father!
Since there was no class yesterday, I convinced my mum to go to Venlo, The Netherlands with me. Thank God, she agreed on doing so.
It only takes us two hours to get there by train and the station is pretty close to our flat.
After we had drunken our coffee, we parted ways for almost three hours.
Of course, I visited the smurfy chemist's/ pharmacy to treat me with some smurfy medicine.
I could do nothing, but picking a Smurfette with trolley variation for 15 Euro and a road sign Syd for 7,50 Euro for my collection.
Sadly, I was only able to pick the Stars magazine for Manni and me (featuring Alicia Keys), but no other smurfs. However I will return in February with some of my Birthday money, after having met up with my Lady on January 20th.

It sounds like you had a good time in Venlo Dominique
What better day can you spend away from your studies than with buying smurfs, sigh....

Hi Dominique, good to hear you made it to Venlo again, I hope Frans is keeping well.
This is a shop that I really would love to visit one day as I have bought quite a few smurfs from there online.

Hey Dominique
Great to hear you went to Venlo again. When I am next in Germany can we should go there again?
The shop is only about 8 mins drive from where Klaus lives and I had no idea it was THAT shop when I went there.....I had heard of it but it was only later that I realised how lucky I was to see it. I found some really cool variations there, including some I still haven't found elsewhere.
Hey Rach, I have a big yellow bag I bought in NYC that I could smuggle you in if you want to go really badly. Stace actually hopped inside the bag easily earlier this year, so if you, or anyone wants to travel for free as part of my luggage then just let me know.

If you go to Germany in October or November next year, you won't even have to put me into a bag
but you might have to fight a dragon
but I would really love to see that store, too

Hi Dyar,
I always told you, how much I would love to meet you and Klaus.
So please count me in.
Btw. I hope you will have created another Syd Smurf, once you return to Germany. I wanted to give you a Syd as a Christmas present, but unfortunently I failed in finding a cocktail stick wearing the Australian flag.

Hi Dominique
Then it's something we must do next time I am in Germany and that area of Europe where so many of my friends live.
Also a big thank
you to you and Manni for my Chrissy card that arrived this week
Very nice of you to think of that

Hi Ron,
actually I discovered another Dutch smurfy resource in Maastricht about two years ago. It was a second hand record shop which was also selling smurfs.
(Unfortunetly, I forgot the name and everytime I went there, I wasn't able to find it again.
) Anyone help, please?
I love going to the Benelux.
At least, once a month, I just have to go to Maastricht, Amsterdam, Venlo, Enschede, Den Haag, Utrecht, Liege, Luxemburg. I guess, I must have lived there in any of my former lives.

I don't blame you Ron...if I lived near Amsterdam, I wouldn't even know my own name after a while
I have to go back there again soon as well......so many places, so much time left.....but so little money to do it with

Hi Dominique!
Father Attom was shocked! knowing you are still obsessed with saving smurfs, but also heart warmed with the thoughts of seeing your happy face
in Holland.
you may not know but I'm also from there, and would love to visit the
dutch smurf people!
It sounds like your trip was successful and you may some friends!
BLESS YOU!
Father Attom
