Travel 2021 – Anything New on the Horizon?
2020 is finally in the rear view window – Good riddance! Everyone has had their issues, so I won’t gripe. To say 2021 has started off on shaky ground would probably be a bit of an understatement, so let’s go … Continue reading
Piedmont – Wine, truffles and scenery to die for!
At least that’s what we’ve been told. Later this year, we’ll be able to see for ourselves. While we were thinking about visiting some wine regions in France, the “Gilet Jaune” or “Yellow Vest” protesters have changed our minds. The … Continue reading

Last day in Amsterdam
So yesterday’s postscript became today’s reality. I did something that caused my back to go out and it hurts like all heck. I gingerly got out of bed and cleaned up before we went down for breakfast. Instead of “see … Continue reading
Sunday – Sunshine and good wine
Woke up, ate our breakfast and then set off to the train station. Our destination today is the town of Zaanse Schans. It’s a historical town with windmills, cobblers, bakery exhibits, cheese and much, much more. We arrive at the … Continue reading
Canal cruising on a sunny day.
Woke up to another beautiful day. After cleaning up, we went down for breakfast and my daily Dutch lesson. We have basically been eating a good breakfast each day and then dinner. No lunch, just an occasional snack and adult … Continue reading
Which way did that Van Gogh?
Another hotel with a great breakfast. Many choices from the buffet, plus they will make you eggs or pancakes. Fresh squeezed orange juice is also available, which is the way I like to start the day. Really enjoyed our first … Continue reading
From Bruges to Amsterdam
Up early to clean up, pack up, eat breakfast and head to the train station. It’s hard to believe that we’re heading to our last stop on what has been a fabulous trip. Bruges was a delight. It is such … Continue reading
