Holland

A visit to the Netherlands might make you think of tulips and windmills. No tulips in August, but today we took a bus out to see windmills. We haven't used the name Holland before today, but Amsterdam IS in the region still known as Holland. (Netherlands is the country, Holland is actually 2 regions in the country. Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands). It was fun seeing the windmills up close. The blades were turning in the breeze, and they are massive! The cheese shop was also a hit. Gouda is king here!

Public transportation is so easy to use here and will take you anywhere. We were back to the city by early afternoon and had fun getting on and off trams to stop for a late lunch and then back on to find more neighborhoods, Bill guided us to Rudi's Original Stoopwafels! Made as you watch! Billed as best in Amsterdam, and they had a long line to validate it. Delicious! We have one more day in Holland. ☺️ 🇵🇾

Observations of the Day: While we have thoroughly enjoyed Amsterdam, it is a big city with their share of litter, unlike Scandanavia.

Second Observation: Are they fit because they all ride bikes or do they all ride bikes because they're fit? Doesn't really matter because they're all fit.Baca lagi
