Amsterdam has many attractions. We all know about the obvious ones. We could not help but take this picture. Busy place with line-ups outside.
We had a fantastic time and wished we could stay.
Fred drove all over Holland and Belgium. Pity there are no more borders in Europe. It just says "Welcome to Belgium"
Fred got used to the road real quick after a few wrong turns and U-turns, driving on a bicycle path or having an electric tram come up behind us, because we were on the rails.
We should have rented a Tom-Tom, a popular gps system, that is widely used in Europe. We figured we would be alright with a map. The car was good, but small. So was the price. Public computers can be used in hotels and internet-cafes, but the price range is 5 euros to 10 euros per 50 min. Will not travel without our laptop again. The road system is good for a small country, but city driving is impossible. Better to take the metro or trams. We done it all and loved our trip. Thanks to everyone who helped, especially Janel and Marco who were our hosts and Rob who guided us back to our hotel in Rotterdam, because we would have been lost again.
It was time to go, Schiphol airport was waiting and we had a good flight home.
Tired for a few days which must be jetlag. Back to work now. Saving for the next trip.
