Hotel De Paasberg Ede

... I'm pretty sure I would have been diverted to Gitmo. But i passed through, our flight was delayed because of a curfew in effect in Amsterdam, I wasn't entirely sure. But the pilot was pretty damn funny and entertaining. I didn't sleep at all on the damn flight, I just watched a few movies, listened to some music, and was bored out of my mind. No problems at all going through customs, or finding the correct ...

... built in Roman times and had the **** bombed out of it, been set on fire and generally had a succession of untimely disasters wrought upon it. Enough of the educational stuff, for now.

We went to the Dom which is a very beautiful 13th century tower and church. That was very interesting - especially when comparing it to old cathedrals I have seen in the UK and France from that same period ...

Landed in Amsterdam and had a few hours to kill before hopping on a bus to Cologne. I decided to spend my time getting a little culture and went to the Rijksmuseum to see some Rembrandt paintings. After my whirlwind tour of the museum I popped over to the Hardrock to sample some of the local brew (the Heineken here tastes so much better than the Heineken in the UAE). Jumped on the bus to Cologne and arrived in enough time to check into the hotel before hightailing it over to the ...
