10 of us tagged along with a hockey team in San Diego to play in two tournaments in Europe. The 20 of us made a few other stops along the way :)
As with all of my trips of late, it was unusually cold. We got snow of sleet every day while in the Netherlands.
First stop, Amsterdam. We stayed in a NH hotel in Zoetermeer, about 30 miles south of Amsterdam. It was nice and only a 300' walk to the train. We didn't actually do much in Zoetermeer. Cat and I did take a walk to an old windmill that has been converted into a bakery of sorts.
Amsterdam is as crazy and fun as you've heard. It seems like there is a coffeeshop or sex museum on every street corner. Ther Red Light District is almost comical. A window, 3 red lights, and a girl just sitting in the window waiting for someone to walk in. Next door, a church. It's a fun place but I think one and two day excursions will do.
We did stop in the Haag one day for lunch a tiny bit of site seeing. I loved the feel and want to get back to soak up more of this city.
Oh yea, the hockey team went undefeated in this tournament.
From Zoetermeer, we took a chartered by to Enchede ... more soon
