Operation Market Garden

After the confusion at the airport in Brussels, we all hopped on a bus and headed to Nijmegen. It was about a 2-3 hours bus ride. The ride was pretty uneventful other than I sat next to a gentleman from F Co. 506th. A very nice gentleman.

The countryside was not quite as I pictured. It was very modern to me. I guess I had in my mind that Europe would not be modern, but not sure why I felt that way. We did see quite a few of the curved red slate rooftops though which was kind if cool. ...

Sleep

Man, what a difference a good night's sleep makes. Up for breakfast and a meeting with the mayor of Nijmegen. I am planning on meeting with Martijne and Cindy tonight. Martijne knew my dear friend, veteran Paul Miller, and we have communicated via email since Paul died 5 years ago. It will be nice to meet him. I have also heard about his "museum" in his basement. Guess you will hear more on that later. Now off to meet the mayor.

Meet the Mayor!

We started the day at City Hall. We all were invited to City Hall for a reception by the Mayor of Nijmegen. He honored the veterans that attended with a short presentation and then refreshments afterward. All of us were given a coin that has been made for the the 65th anniversary of the liberation of The Netherlands. They will hold celebrations in September when the actual liberation took place. The City Hall was a beautiful old building that was here during the war and was used as a HQ for A...

Battlefield Tour and the Liberation Museum

Today was a great day. We spent the day touring the battlefield of Operation Market Garden. After breakfast we headed out for tours of the battlefield. To answer Bob's question on this site, there really is little damage from the war. The town has really grown in size since then and there is quite a bit that is here now that was not here during the liberation. But when you get outside of Nijmegen you begin to see the countryside that looks like what I envision Holland to look like. Small home...

The Uncity

... first time would have clued me in I was you know what out of luck. I guess I was just expecting some kind of miracle. I waited a while to see if the door might reopen if no payment was received. Nope. Not a chance. My bag was a hostage inside a train station.<br><br>Anyone walking past me was fair game and I would ask if someone would let me pay them three Euros cash if they would swipe their card. You can imagine how that went over at 6:50 in the dark morning. Some whacko ...

... within maybe 50 metres of the train was just a green blur. Farm houses a kilometre away just zipped by. It was an awesome and exhillarating way to travel.<br> Unfortunately our speed was not great enough. We fell farther and farther behind schedule, until we arrived in Brussels 40 minutes late. We missed our connection to the Eurostar train that was to take us under the English Channel. Then, we got a bit of a run-around as to how to get on the the ...

Day trip to Nijmegen!

Before my trip to Amsterdam, Amanda and I took a quick day trip to Nijmegen to explore another city in the Netherlands. It only takes about an hour on the bus, so it made for a perfect day trip! We had such a nice day there! Again, we got really lucky with the weather-it was super sunny all day! We didn't really know anything about the city-we just decided to go there and ...

Tante Welmoed's 80th Birthday

... brought a case of Sekt which is a German sparkling wine. She said the tradition in Germany is to greet each guest with a glass of Sekt which was a task I happily undertook. There was plenty of beer and other beverages as well as an abundance of yummy food. <br><br>I don't know how many people came in and out of the ...

... a few neat looking buildings (castle, big cathedral, central square). The photography museum was just ok though (and the price was A LOT higher than what was listed in Lonely Planet). Didn't do any diamond shopping. I did sample the local cuisine though....waffles and french fries (supposedly french fries were first made in Belgium). Brugge reminded me a lot of Amsterdam with all its canals and arched bridges. It's a ...
