Dag 1
Amsterdam
25. april, Holland ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
On our way to England, we stopped off at the fascinating city of Amsterdam. What an amazing place!

We actually booked our accommodation in one of the famous "Dancing Houses", although we didn't know that until after we arrived. They get the name for being a bit "wonky", which is the result of the soil settling. Many buildings like that as the original soil was peat. They used the same construction techniques as they did in Venice, burying tall timber poles into the soil.

We wandered around the narrow streets and numerous canals... a photo on every corner.Læs mere

Rejsende Getting our 20 kg bags up there was a challenge that's for sure. Glad Randall's knee didn't give way 😁

Dag 2
A Visit to the Country
26. april, Holland ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
Although it rained yesterday, today was beautiful and we joined a small day tour to visit the surrounding countryside to see the dikes, old towns and, of course, tulips.

It was interesting to learn the history of how they reclaimed the land and the ongoing management to this very day. We stopped at a working windmill to learn how they pump the water up multiple levels and eventually, the sea. A bit of trivia for you... if the windmill blades are stopped as a cross (+), then the windmill is still operational. If the blades are stopped as an x, the windmill is not in use.

There were originally 10,000 windmills in the Netherlands, but today there is less than 1,000. Interesting that despite their size, they windmills are easily dismantled and can be transported somewhere else where they're needed.Læs mere

Dag 2
Tulips
26. april, Holland ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
After visiting the windmills, we headed out to a tulip farm. The owners also run over a hundred dairy cows and a few sheep,

The tulips were awesome... the majority of these farms are growing tulips for their bulbs, whereas the ones grown for their flowers are done in greenhouses.

It was a great day out and we learned a lot about the history of this fascinating countryLæs mere

Dag 3
King's Day
27. april, Holland ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
We timed our visit to Amsterdam perfectly as today is King's Day, a day when the entire population holds a giant party to celebrate their King. Sounded like an excuse for a party, but hey... I was up for it.

Everyone wears orange and the police turn a blind eye to drinking and smoking joints in public. We have never seen anything like it... music blaring and people dancing on every street. The canals were full of boats with their own music and dancing. What a party!

But overall, everyone was really well behaved, they were here to have fun... and it was!Læs mere

Spent the remainder of our time in Amsterdam wandering the myriad of streets and canals. A beautiful city and we wish we could have stayed longer. We'll just have to come back..

Black Forest
4. maj, Tyskland ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Took a break from chilling to go for a drive down to Freiberg and Triberg, in the heart of the Black Forest.

Triberg, considered the home of the cuckoo clock, is a beautiful little town with stunning waterfalls and pine forests. A great place to end our visit to Germany.Læs mere

Back in the UK! Been a while since we've been to London, so it's great to come back. And we lucked out with the weather, sunshine and temps up to 21 C.

We did a lot of walking (and tubing) to visit some of the beautiful gardens around the West End area. Roses are starting to come out and the aroma is unbelievable.

From London we hopped on a train to the university town of Oxford. A very interesting town with lots of old buildings. Many of the locations here are famous for being in the Harry Potter films. Needless to say, there are oodles of HP memorabilia we could have bought... but didn't.Læs mere
