Best Breakfast Ever
... . Maybe my efforts to save money should be focused on other things, rather than public transportation. I saw a little bit of Haarlem. It reminded me of Amsterdam, though the atmosphere was friendlier. I talked to some really nice locals and they pointed ...
You mean they have windmills here?
... once completed. One of the first uses of a windmill was to pump water and increase the land mass of the country, much of Netherlands existing below sea level (when I say much, I keep being corrected it is in fact much of the inhabited parts. While not ...

The old town of Haarlem
... small hub of bus stops. Even the long walks we had to do from the host to the towncenter were great... The routes of the Netherlands are amazing. You can walk alongside a canal almost every time, its strange. Also I can confirm two things. One, the dutch ...

The Tulip Fields

Haarlem and Keukenhof
... have found a great place to travel to. I love the outrageously large bike transport network especially. When Josh's tour is up here, I would love to go to SHAPE in Belgium or the base in the Netherlands. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ...
I've got too much smoke in my eyesss
Well today has been nice, we have gone to the towns Haarlem and Alkamaar, pretty little towns accesible by train, so we decided to make use of our rail passes. Alkamaar was about 25 minutes from Aamsterdam, so we went to that one first. It was small, with ...
Haarlem Day Trip
April 24th (50 miles), we spent the day biking to and around Haarlem. A town that has a similar feel to Amsterdam, just smaller and less congested. We also spent some time with our friend Mathea in Amsterdam. See the ...
Leiden to Haarlem
The week is progressing all too fast. Today we biked through some flower fields albiet they were mostly bloomed out but I was able to catch a few blooms. We also traveled to the seashore along the way and lunched on the beach. ...
Out of the big city, into the tulips
... , which for me was already getting a little long in the tooth. At least this way we get to see a little more of the Netherlands than the overblown capital . . . something not many people do. It'd be nice to look around a little more - Rotterdam, Den Haag, ...
HAARLEM NIGHTS AGAIN
Well here we are ready to leave The Netherlands already and head for Germany tomorrow. Today we went into Amsterdam and did the usual tourist things such as Anne Frank House, Rijksmuseum, canal boat ride and tour the red light district. Corey and ...

Happy in Haarlem
... - I was busy reading my guidebook and I heard Haarlem called so I ran out the door without thinking. Haarlem isn't that great - despite recent polls suggesting that Haarlem residents were the most content in Holland (this says a lot ...
An afternoon in Haarlem
It was our first time in The Netherlands and to initiate us we started in the little town of Haarlem outside of Amsterdam. Haarlem is a lively little market town, a scaled down version of Amsterdam, with all its charm condensed in one spot. We ...
Haarlem For a Rest
... at random. Unfortunately, we didn't find the ocean. We did, however, find the hillyest countryside in the entire Netherlands. These hills were crossed by a path sadistically paved by eighteen trillion bricks. I say sadistic because laying down so many ...
Frans Hals Museum
... be the last one from Holland. After we did our laundry (such a mundane chore) we trotted off to the Frans Hals Museum here in Haarlem. He was a local artist of some renoun. I'll leave it Mom to describe the artistic sights. Suffice it to say, I tagged ...
July 6
... hoping to just catch the flight here as it stops in Amsterdam anyways. That was a NO GO. Oh well. We made our way to Haarlem where we had booked a room. This is a nice little place just outside of Amsterdam. Our hotel is right on the edge of the ...
Returned home!
After a long journey via Kuala Lumpur (4 hours delay, fell asleep and almost mist the flight), made it back home this morning, and received a warm welcome from my neighbours. 8 months of travelling, time for reflections; and a ...

What a date to write a last entry
From Prien am Chiemsee to Schifferstadt, and onwards to The Netherlands Lots of rain, a bit of sun and suddenly we were stopped by a police car for control by the German Customs. We did not have any stuffed animals, were not smuggling narcotics, we ...
No Harlem Globetrotters in this Haarlem
... don’t often see in a church is a full size aircraft, a replica of the first plane designed and flown over Haarlem by local lad Fokker, an aircraft building name later to be made famous by the Germans. A lovely town and well worth spending ...
End of the trip
We have reached the end of the trip. We'll update this page within the forseeable future (one or two days). Changes to our lives will be imminent, we'll miss the trip, but are happy that we made it safely. We are looking forward to the new challenges, ...
First Day of Competition
... couldn't convert and lost 3-0. After having our first day of competition we ate at the complex and then headed into the city of Haarlem to do some shopping. The city was really cool and we went to a lot of interesting stores. We then went into Amsterdam ...
The beginning
When we first landed in Holland we went straight to the Village in Heemstede and from their traveled to our hotel. The hotel was really nice and I went to bed real early since my head hurt real bad from the ...
Day 6
Today turned out to be the last day of the competition as we lost both games 1-0 and 2-1 thus eliminating us from the tournament. In the first game I played defense and we put in a great showing but could just not find the target and then towards the ...
