De laatste voorbereidingen.

Caen, France to Rotterdam, Netherlands
26th - 27th November 2006, Caen, France to Rotterdam, Netherlands: another day, another blown tyre OK, so we woke up early (well 7am, but it was bloody cold and dark!) and quickly prepared ourselves for a solid day's driving. We had worked out that it ...

Oude Binnenweg - My Favourite Street In Europe
It was the ashtrays ON the bar that caught my eye as I was wandering looking for somewhere comfortable to watch the Netherlands v Slovakia World Cup match. The Dutch smoking ban had been in place for a year and a half or so but I'd always found an ...
Tulip Heaven
We started our day by entering the Rotterdam harbor and having a guided tour of it. It is the third largest harbor in the world--very impressive! But the piece d'resistance (sp?) was the excursion of the day, the long-awaited trip to the Kuekenhof ...
Or is it Liverpool, or Rome?
... there was a free-of.charge bit, but apart from that we didnt see much of it at all. In fact, the best thing about Rotterdam was this park, which had a massive BBQ area where you could rock up, pitch a gazebo, trundle out your barbie and spend all day ...
