Off to Arnhem

Today is a train trip to Arnhem where we will visit the Open Air Museum. It involves train and bus travel to get there and we have done some research on how to make it all happen. We picked up our discounted train tickets yesterday, The discount applies to off peak travel so we can’t get on before 9 am.
One false start from the hotel as we had to go back to get some literature about Dianne’s great grandfather, Jasper Hogeweide, who we believed to be represented at the museum by his shoeing shed from Scherpenzeel. It was purchased and relocated by the museum in 1923.
We know our way around Centraal Station in Amsterdam now, so no problem getting on the train. It is a pleasant one hour ride to Arnhem, where we board a bus to the museum.
I mentioned that the windmills in Zaanse reminded me of Heritage Park in Calgary. This place even more so. It covers around 600 years of Dutch history.Weiterlesen
