After Paris had kicked our ass (late nights, clubs, and too many crepes), we took a Eurolines bus to Rotterdam, Holland. From there we went to Delft, Holland where we stayed with Marianne, my mother's cousin, and very soon a good friend of ours.
Holland is a great country. Well thought out public transportation, socialized health care, and vegetarian fake meat! After being in Spain and France ("vegetarian... you eat fish right?")... this was Renee's response.
Delft was like a vacation after traveling. No buses to catch, no searching for a hostel... it was really nice. We decided we would go to the beach one day, so we took a tram to Den Haag / Scheveningen... and the weather was perfect!
It was below freezing back in Massachusetts :)
Marianne is my cousin, Oma's niece. And she really is GREAT!
ReplyDeleteDutch beach in Tulip season. Ahhh....
ReplyDeleteHere's a big SHOUT OUT TO ALEX.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! If I've got it right, you're now of the legal age to do everything. (Use the right carefully.)
ReplyDeleteHow awesome to be experiencing your 21st during this wonderful adventure you and
Renee are on!!!
Love,
Kathleen
Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, since being 21 in Holland isn't a big deal - since you can drink wine at 16, and do pretty much everything else at 18... I might not feel "grown-up" until I get home
Nice area.
