When I was deciding where I wanted my next trip I was thinking about places I have been and videos I have seen on YouTube. I must admit that one of the videos on YouTube got my attention and this is what helped me decide on the Netherlands. The video is from a train driver […]
For a number of years, Jamie and I went to the cinema in July to watch the homecoming concert of Andre Rieu on the Vrijthof in Maastricht. Since I started watching at the cinema, I have always wanted to go to a homecoming concert and put it on my bucket list. One December, Jamie and […]
Since we hadn’t done a christmas market in a couple of years, we decided that this year we would make the effort to go to one in the Netherlands and since Germany was so close we would find one we hadn’t been to there. We had some Tesco vouchers that we converted into Eurotunnel vouchers […]
I’ve decided to do my year in review in picture format (for the months that I have pictures that is) January We finally got part of a white winder. I love the snow, so it is always nice to see it fall and to see it freshly fallen. It’s not so nice when it has […]
The time has come around again for another of our ritual trips to Christmas markets. This time, we finally made it to the market we wanted to go to in 2012. We couldn’t make that one due to issues with the car. We wanted to go to Aachen, but got as far as Brussels before […]

So, day 2 of our visit consisted of a trip to Amsterdam. We had to get up and leave on time this time since we had a bus tour scheduled for 10:00 and we had to be there by 09:45. Thankfully the Sat Nav lady didn’t have a lot of problems getting us there. It […]
So, I thought I would write a little bit about our trip to The Netherlands. It is such a beautiful country. We had a nice smooth sailing on the ferry from Dover to Calais. I think it was deceptively smooth for Jamie as the ride back was anything but. That story is on Jamie’s blog. […]
