Samuel On: 27-01-2008 03:04:36 Marvelous Vacation Noud and Frans - Thanks for the wonderful vacation. Your place was FIVE STAR. See you next January. I'm staying longer next time. - Sam

Henny en Janneke On: 09-01-2008 20:56:47 Hallo Noud en Frans !!!! We zijn weer thuis, maar nog steeds met ons hoofd bij jullie en Aruba.Het was weer "thuiskomen". Weer een paar kilo aangekomen van de weelderige ontbijtjes en flesjes wijn die we verorberd hebben.We zijn nog geen 24 uur thuis, maar wat lijkt het ver weg, zo in de kou en die kale bomen en struiken,en de zomerkleren weer een half jaar in de mottenballen.Lieverds, het was weer vanouds: jullie huis, tuin, gastvrijheid, humor, en ga zo maar door, TOT VOLGEND JAAR KERST EN NIEUWJAAR. Ayo, mi dushi

John On: 05-01-2008 18:44:44 Xmas 07 My third trip to the island and third visit with Noud and Francois-it was like going home. It was, simply, wonderful as usual. Not only was I able to visit with N&F (always a pleasure) I was happy to visit with Aruban friends I have made over the years. A wonderful busy place! Shopping with Francois for the Christmas day barbeque, helping prepare, and, of course eating and drinking. The top happy surprise was a visit from Janeke and Hennie from Holland for Xmas #2. My return to eastern Canada, and 4 wild snow storms in 7 days made me miss Little David's even more. Scot and Neil-missed you. much love John

jaap en harmen On: 17-11-2007 21:36:33 gastenboek hoi lieve noud en frans, Wij zijn erg onwennig in ons eigen huis vandaag. Als eerste missen we de honden,loretta en de katten en de schildpadjes.En natuurlijk de zon en de prachtige ambiance waar we ons de laatste dagen mochten wanen. Ja echt ``Wanen`` is het echte woord daarvoor. Toen we gistermiddag weg reden uit jullie straat hadden we het zweet op de rug van koffer pakken en toch kippe-vel bij het afscheid. We hebben elkaar maar een paar dagen ontmoet maar een gevoel wat iedereen bij jullie heeft van "eigen" zijn. Dus jongens ook jullie hebben ons het gevoel gegeven gast te zijn :echt Gast te zijn. Helaas waren het er maar een paar dagen en nachten bij jullie maar ontzettend genoten. Veel van jullie geleerd ook en ook van de omgeving.En natuurlijk het vertrouwen wat jullie ons gaven.Fantastisch. we willen jullie daar heel erg voor bedanken. Noud we hopen dat je griep is over gewaaid naar iets anders en dat je voor weer een drukke tijd gezond er tegen aan kan. We hopen ook spoedig weer wat van jullie te horen.Jaap en harmen.

Hiljo en Danielle On: 04-11-2007 21:45:29 verjaardag Ha dushi, Hier een berichtje uit Nederland. Van harte gefeliciteerd met je 65e verjaardag. Geniet van je dag. Groetjes daar Hiljo en Danielle

Kai and Oli On: 26-09-2007 03:42:25 Sept. 13-18 2007 Aruba Trip Hello... Our trip to Aruba was one of the worst trips we've ever ... just kidding! Without exaggerations, it was the best trip we've ever been to together. So let's break it down baby. Little David- The B&B was cleanly maintained with daily housekeeping courtesy of Hugo and others. Our suite (highly recommended) was roomy with his and his sinks, spacious shower with strong water pressure (just the way I like it), and a comfy bed to sleep and do other things in. Noud cooks and serves a scrumptious daily breakfast consisting of coffee, juice, tea, eggs, papayas, oranges, grapefruits, kiwis, pudding, and sandwiches. A morning swim in the pool was the perfect way for us to start the day. But we must say the B&B's biggest asset is its owners, Noud and Francois. Noud is energetic, loud, gregarious, and has a wild and wicked sense of humor. In short, he is the life of the party. As for Francois, he is quieter but still very friendly, helpful, and fun to be around. We also met Erik and Steve from Maryland (we saw photos of your house on your website and it looks beautiful), Greg from Ft. Lauderdale, Toby and Eugene (thanks for the Chinese food guys), and Rene and Chi Chi. It was a lot of fun snorkeling with you guys/girls. Last but not least, there are also 3 cats, 2 dogs, a parrot, and 2 turtles in hiding. Staying at Little David felt like staying at a friend's home. Aruba- What can we say about Aruba that hasn't been said before. The beaches on the island are simply breathtaking. The waters are clear, pristine, aqua-marine colored, and warm. The sand is soft and sometimes powdery. Our favorite beach is Baby Beach on the south side of the island. Semi-circular rock formations protect the beach from waves; thus rendering it like a natural pool... which brings us to... Aruba's Natural Pool. It is located on the eastern side of the island and a Jeep is needed to get there. We rented a small compact car and had to walk the remaining way to the Natural Pool. Boy, was it tough on us. The trek took about 25 minutes each way in 90 degree Fahrenheit up and down rocky roads. We thought we were going to pass out midway. When we finally arrived there, it was worth it. A huge circular rock formation forms a snorkeling/swimming paradise protecting us from the strong waves coming from the eastern sea. Restaurants- Noud recommended some local restaurants but unfortunately most of the them were closed due to the low-season. We ate at Bucaneer which was interesting. Aquariums adorn the walls and expectantly; the menu leans heavily on seafood. We ordered shrimp avocado salad, grilled baby shark, a crab entree, and beers and it came out to about $20 per person. Simply Fish at the Marriott- A simple yet highly effective seafood restaurant situated right on the beach. We ordered wine, caesar salad, shrimp cocktail, grilled halibut, baked chilean sea bass, and dessert about $80 per person. It's on the expensive side but still worth it. The food was slightly above average, the service attentive, but the most impressive of all was the milieu. We ate under the stars listening to and watching the Caribbean sea with a constant breeze cooling us down. It was a magical night. Daniel's Steak and Chop- An excellent meat and seafood Caribbean influenced restaurant situated a block away from the Radisson in the high rise district. The decor is modern with exceptional high ceilings. We ordered caesar salad, seafood soup, jumbo shrimp kebab (grilled to perfection), veal filet mignon (like butter), sparkling water, and champagne. It was also about $80 per person. Snorkeling- It was our first snorkeling trip and we were so excited (and a bit scared). Noud organized a tour for us, some of his friends, and other guests in the B&B. We boarded a boat and sailed out to a German shipwreck site. There were about 50+ people on board with mostly American family tourists. As a snorkeling virgin, I did better than I expected. I did manage to see some tropical fishes including blue parrotfish. Oli proved to be a natural. Snorkeling really is fun and exhilarating. Tips: If you've never snorkeled before, purchase the equipments at home and practice in the pool. Ostrich farm- A quick 10 minute tour of the African birds. It was interesting but really more for kids. We tried Ostrich meat for the first time and I found it rough. Casinos- Aruba has many casinos for an island its size. We went to about 6 of them and they were pretty similar. Limits are low ($5 Blackjack available) but variety of games are limited. Oli did hit the jackpot at the Renaissance hotel and won $450.00. To reiterate, our trip to Aruba was everything we expected and then some. If you have any doubts about visiting Aruba or staying at Little David's, trust us, don't. We were sad to leave and will definitely go back... just don't know when. Sigh! Kindest regards, Kai and Oli

John On: 08-09-2007 02:51:14 wishing I have visited Noud and Francois twice. I was reading what everyone wrote recently and remembered all over again. I am travelling back again this Christmas--I'm from Canada, so you can imagine the difference at that time of the year! I look forward to spending time with these wonderful men and an assortment of people from everywhere. Hope my American friends read this and decide to go back again also. Love to all John

Brian and Jason On: 02-08-2007 17:47:02 Aruba Vacation Noud and Francois are the two most fabulous people on the island. You are very incredible people, who happen to run the finest gay resort in the Carribean.
