離開栗子屋的前一天，
我們在其勢力範圍的路邊發現比號稱荷蘭最美味的炸薯條---Bram Ladage還好吃的薯條，
薯條顏色漂亮，表面酥脆，內心軟有咬感，這真是我心目中的炸薯條呀 ♥
連炸翅腿都好吃到破表！
薯條婆婆有教我怎樣炸薯條，等我回荷蘭驗證後再和大家分享。

相識恨晚，離開當天特別再訪吃早餐。

多點了炸豬肉串，啊啊啊，竟然肉嫩多汁，我只能說薯條婆婆的炸功了得！

進駐小溪屋前先拜訪 Redu，二手書村，一進村，這個壁畫就先跟我們打招呼。

之前拜訪小村，遇雨，書店皆沒有開門，今日再訪，稀稀落落的雨，大部分書店仍是沒開。

那就拍招牌。

這樣也可以開書店。

 終於看到一家書店開門！

所謂書香滿屋就是這樣吧。

但寂寞。

日後會專文介紹此小村。

這是我對小村最後的一瞥。

晚餐拜訪阿莫先生和我都很期待的餐廳---Au Comte d'Harscamp，

餐廳沒有酒單，自己到酒窖挑酒。
餐點水準以上，我難得地在台灣以外品嚐到美味的豬肉料理，

然而服務非常糟糕，
我記得兔兔曾說，你會忘掉一次不好的餐點，但是你難忘不好的服務。
這家餐廳，我們百分之一千不會回訪。

回來後，阿莫先生在餐廳評論上寫道：
First impression​: Romantic, cozy, attractive​.
Nice design and decoration​, mainly wood (even the toilet looked cute).
The Chef is very friendly and welcoming.​
The food was not bad and some dishes were really good.
Unfortunat​ely, only 2 waitresses​:
A young girl and an old bleached lady in black outfit,
probably the mother of the chef,  or the grandmothe​r of the young waitress.
The young waitress worked very hard,
but her attention was mainly focussed on the local guests and regulars.
The older woman paid no attention to us at all from the moment we came in,
and she never put a smile to her face, in fact she just ignored us.
Later my wife told me she felt exactly the same.
When I asked for the bill,
I told my wife in advance that I guessed that it would probably take at least 25 minutes
before everything​ was finalized.​
That was a cautious estimate.
I usually give 15 to 20% tip, I had agreed with my wife to give 8-10% this time.
When I finally got the bill I walked down to the bar to pay with my bank card.
The old waitress sat 1 meter away from me talking to regulars and saw me right away.
I showed her the bill. She looked me right in the face but ignored me.
They talked at least 10 minutes,
only after the bell for service had rang 3 times she left to serve some plates.
Hurrying past me she said: “Two minutes” and left.
When she came back I wanted to pay with my bank card, she snappy told me they did not accept those.
When I searched in my bag, she was instantly irritated.​
When I quickly searched for my PIN code in my PDA, she walked away without saying anything.
After a while she came back but ignored me,
I drew her attention to ask for permission​ to use my credit card again.
She petulantly​ said in French something like: “Right, you should not take so long to enter your PIN code”.
Finally I paid, and did not tip a single dime.
I can’t remember ever having given less than 5% tip, let alone nothing.
The old woman, I believe should retire or find a job that suits her better.
