Como dito anteriormente, ontem à noite o Sr. Vries encontrou-se pessoalmente com Dave Bonte, o verniano belga, na cidade de Gent na Bélgica a fim de este lhe passar o livro em mão e assim poupar tempo na viagem.
Depois de o ter em sua posse, o nosso participante holandês deslocou-se com a sua bicicleta rumo à estação de comboio (Br: trem) mas, a meio do caminho, surgiu-lhe um... imprevisto.
O nosso amigo verniano teve um furo levando a que fizesse o resto do caminho a pé empurrando a sua "querida" bicicleta até à estação. Mas as horas aproximavam-se e foi com extrema rapidez que conseguiu chegar a tempo do comboio das 18:05h para Antwerp.
Porém, os imprevistos não tinham ficado por aqui...
A chegada estava prevista para as 18:55h mas o comboio, por motivos desconhecidos, atrasou-se em 5 minutos. Este atraso, a confirmar-se, faria com que Garmt perdesse a ligação para Rotterdam marcada para as 18:59h mas, curiosamente, após ter colocado o pé no cais, Garmt verificou que também esse comboio estava atrasado encontrando-se ainda na estação.
Apesar do azar inicial, tudo acabou por correr bem e o nosso amigo verniano chegou ao seu destino no tempo previsto.
Uma autêntica viagem Foggiana!
E como disse Fogg antes de iniciar a sua viagem:
"O imprevisto não existe".
Hoje, Garmt de Vries, pegou no livro e visitou a sua bela cidade.
Um dos mais conhecidos locais arquitectónicos da cidade de Zeist é o seu castelo. Este foi construído para Willem Adriaan, Conde van Naussau-Odijk, o primeiro Lord de Zeist, no final do século XVII, por Jacob Roman e Daniel Marot. O seu exterior é um bom exemplo do estilo clássico holandês:
O seu interior, esplendoroso, foi inspirado no Palácio de Versailles. Marot, que era francês Huguenote, introduziu o estilo barroco na Holanda:
Os descendentes de Willem Adriaan não conseguiram assegurar a sua manutenção e foram obrigados a vendê-lo. Em 1745, o castelo foi comprado por Cornelis Schellinger, um membro da comunidade religiosa da Irmandade Evangelicalista.
Nos jardins, as casas foram construídas para os membros da comunidade: nas da esquerda ficavam as Irmãs solteiras e viuvas, nas da direita os Irmãos solteiros. As praças são conhecidas hoje como Zusterplein (a praça das Irmãs) e Broedersplein (a praças dos Irmãos):
Visto que os Irmãos tinham que se sustentarem, estabeleceram múltiplos negócios inclusive uma padaria, uma fábrica de botões, uma prataria e uma tonoaria. Os seus produtos eram vendidos na Casa dos Irmãos. De facto, este estabelecimento foi a primeira loja na Holanda.
Têm-se feito bastantes esforços para inserir este castelo como os edifícios Hernhutters, na lista de Património Mundial da UNESCO.
Próximo do castelo e das duas praças fica a Câmara-Municipal de Zeist.
Hoje este edifício faz exactamente 100 anos: foi inaugurado em 13 de Novembro de 1908. É um bom exemplo do estilo neo-renascentista, arquitectura que foi bastante usada nesse periodo.
O livro encontra-se a caminho da próxima paragem, a Polónia, e pensa-se que lá chegue entre Segunda e Terça-feira.
Inspirado por Krzysztof (participante de Manchester - Inglaterra) que colocou as várias versões do livro, portuguesa, inglesa, francesa e polaca na mesma foto, Garmt enviou o livro juntamente com a versão holandesa de forma a oferecê-la ao próximo participante.
O nosso agradecimento a Dhr Garmt de Vries pelo envio das fotos como também por toda a informação que nos disponibilizou.
Esperemos que o livro chegue à Polónia o mais rapidamente possível.

The book 'Around the World in 80 days' visited the beautiful Dutch city of Zeist with the company of Dhr Garmt de Vries.
As I said, last night Mr. Vries met with Dave Bonte, the Belgian vernian, in the city of Gent in Belgium in order to hand it over and save some time.
When he got it, he picked up his bike and went on the way to his destination.
But never thought he would be the character of the next vernian adventure...
Let him tell us:
"Yesterday, 12 November, I met Dave Bonte, who gave me the book after he had taken it to Gent for some nice pictures. The handover took place in the street near my office. It was dark and we were both in a bit of a hurry, and there was nothing interesting to see, so we had no good occasion to make some nice pictures together.
My trip home was quite Fogg-like. I got a puncture in the tire of my bike, so I had to walk half of the way to the train station. I still managed to catch the 18.05 train from Ghent, which was due to arrive in Antwerp at 18.55, but it was delayed by five minutes. The connecting train to Rotterdam should have left at 18.59, but fortunately it also had a delay of five mintues, and I arrived home exactly according to plan, thanks to the guiding spirit of Phileas
Fogg.
(see 1st picture)
Today I took the book on a photoshoot in Zeist.
One of the main architectural landmarks of the town of Zeist is its castle. The castle was built for Willem Adriaan, Count van Naussau-Odijk, the first Lord of Zeist, at the end of the 17th century, by Jacob Roman and Daniel Marot. The exterior of the castle is a good example of the classical Dutch style:
(see 2nd and 3rd picture)
Inside, it was a place of splendour, inspired by the palace of Versailles. Marot, who was a French Huguenot, introduced the baroque style to the Netherlands:
(see 4th picture)
The descendants of Willem Adriaan could not afford the maintenance of the castle, and had to sell it. In 1745, the castle was bought by Cornelis Schellinger, a member of the religious community of the Evangelical Brotherhood, also known as the Moravians or Hernhutters.
In the gardens, houses were built for the members of the community: on the left there were houses for unmarried sisters and widows, on the right unmarried brothers were housed. The squares are known today as the Zusterplein (Sisters' Square) and Broedersplein
(Brothers' Square).
(see 5th and 6th photo)
Because the brothers and sisters had to provide for themselves, they established multiple businesses including a bakery, a button factory, a silversmith, and a tinsmith. Their products were sold in the Brother's House. In fact, this establishment was the first department store in the Netherlands. Efforts are being made to enter the castle along with the Hernhutters buildings on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Close to the castle and the two squares is the town hall of Zeist. As it happens, today, 13 November, this building is exactly 100 years old: it was inaugurated on 13 November 1908. It is a good example of the neo-renaissance style of architecture that was frequently used in that period. Best, Garmt."
(see 7th photo)
The book is on the way to the next stop, Poland, and we think that it will arrive between Monday and Tuesday.
Inspired by Krzysztof (participant from Manchester - England) who took a picture with several versions of the book, Portuguese, English, French and Polish, Garmt sent with the book another one. A Dutch version in order to offer it to the next participant.
Our thanks to heer Garmt de Vries for the photos and also for the all information.
We hope that the book arrives to Poland as soon as possible.

Le livre Le Tour du monde em 80 jours a séjourné aujourd’hui dans la belle ville hollandaise de Zeist en compagnie du vernien Garmt de Vries.
Comme on avait dit, hier soir, M. de Vries s’est rencontré personnellement avec Dave Bonte, le vernien Belge, dans la ville de Gent en Belgique afin de lui passer le livre en mains et gagner du temps dans le voyage.
Après avoir pris le livre, notre participant néerlandais est allé vers la station de train en vélo mais, à mi-chemin, un imprévu: un trou sur le pneu ! Notre ami vernien a dû faire la promenade à pied jusqu’à la station... mais il est arrivé à l’heure pour le train de 18:05h direction Anvers.
Mais, les imprévus n’arrêtent pas par lá!
L’arrivée était prévue pour 18:55h, mais le train, par des motifs inconnus, s’est retardé en 5 minutes, ce qui a méné notre ami à un autre imprévu: Garmt allait raté la connexion pour Rotterdam fixé pour 18 :59h. Curieusement, après avoir mis le pied sur la station, Garmt a vu que ce train était en retard lui aussi ! Il était encore garé.
Malgré la malchance au début, tout est fini bien pour notre ami vernien: il est arrivé dans le temps prévu.
Un authentique voyage Foggien !!
Comme Fogg a dit avant de commencer son voyage : l’imprévu n’existe pas !

À son intérieur on voit le splendeur inspiré du Château e versailles. Marot, qui état huguenot français, a présenté le style baroque aux Pays Bas:

Les descendants de Willem Adriaan n’ont pas réussi à maintenir le château et ont été forcés de le vendre. En 1745, le château a été acheté par Cornelis Schelling, un membre de la communauté religieuse de la Fraternité évangélique.
Dans les jardins, les maisons ont été construites pour les membres de la communauté: sur la gauche demeuraient les sœurs célibataires et les veuves, sur les maisons de droite des Frères célibataires. Les places sont connues aujourd'hui comme Zusterplein (Place des Soeurs) et Broedersplein (Place des frères):
(5ème & 6ème photo)
Étant donné que les frères devaient se faire nourrir eux-mêmes, ils ont créé plusieurs entreprises, y compris une boulangerie, une usine de boutons, ils ont travaillé avec le metal argent aussi. Leurs produits étaient vendus à la «Maison des frères». En effet, cet établissement a été le premier magasin aux Pays-Bas.
Les efforts sont grands pour faire entrer le nom de ce château et celui des bâtiments Hernhutters dans la liste de l’UNESCO du patrimoine mondial.
Proche du château et des deux places se situe l’Hôtel de ville de Zeist.
Aujourd'hui, ce bâtiment a exactement 100 ans: il a été inauguré le 13 Novembre 1908. Il est un bon exemple de style néo-Renaissance, l'architecture qui a été trop utilisé dans cette période

On attend impatiemment que le livre arrive en Polonie.

Uma extrema honra para todos nós a participação especialíssima do grande verniano Garmt de Vries!
E que bonito: ele pôde receber o livro em mãos, de nosso "Fogg belga" Dave Bonte.
Rumo à Polônia, agora!
Sem dúvida um grande verniano que nos ensinou bastante tanto aqui como na revista Mundo Verne.
Além disso, um excelente fotografo. Aquela foto panorâmica está simplesmente espectacular!
Foi, como todos os outros, um excelente participante!
Que venham mais assim!
