London

We are in London. Well not true, we are actually in Richmond which is a London suburb (to the South West). The famous Kew Gardens are in Richmond, only 5 minutes or so from the house we are staying.
The trip via Dubai was long, especially because the 'plane we were supposed to fly on from Dubai to London had a technical problem (the back-up braking system) and they had to replace it as they could not fix it in time. Fortunately Emirates have 15 of these giant Airbus 380's (the biggest passenger plane in the world), so they had a spare one. That one also had a problem, but they managed to fix it. All in all that caused a 4 hour delay. Then we had a 1 hour wait in the immigration queue. The very kind immigration officer told us that with Lyn's EU spouse visa we can in future use the UK/EU passport queue so that will make a big difference next time we arrive here. The wait was long, but even so, the luggage had not yet arrived when we got to the carrousel! Fortunately all our 62 Kgs arrived a bit later (the 62 Kgs was the reason of flying via Dubai in the first place as Emirates have an allowance of 30 Kg each in economy).
Today we did a few of the things one needs to do when arriving in a new country: opening a bank account and getting a pay as you go local SIM card.
Not much else to do the next few days, we'll send out the paperwork for Lyn's residence card tomorrow and make an appointment for the first week of May with the Dutch embassy for the naturalisation.
On Thursday morning we fly to Amsterdam and collect 'Onbekommerd' from the winter storage in Alkmaar.
