Updated country count - just because

So after 4 years of living in the Netherlands and jet-setting all over the place, I'm curious to see what my 'country count' is.  Based on the list below, I managed to get in 13 new countries and several more new cities while living in Europe. 

While I explored at a tiring place, I couldn't help it.  I was fuelled by curiosity.  There are a lot of cool places to check out.  I did well to explore where I did while still doing my best to enjoy checking out parts of the NL (wadloping, Gouda's candlelight night, Het Loo, Hoge Veluwe...). 

Of course, there are still a few places I want to check out...another time.
