Wow, the Netherlands is one of my favourite countries on the planet. And I dont say that lightly. I get giddy just at the thought of the place. I've spent a lot of time in the Netherlands but this was the first nibble I had of this delicious buffet of beautiful scenery and the 2nd most likeable race on the planet! I was there on business for a full month and it also set the scene for my love of Europe.

Este viaje fue planeado durante largos años hasta que finalmente llegó el momento. Nuestro viaje se inicia en mi ciudad favorita: Paris. Hicimos un pequeño periplo por Paises Bajos y Bélgica con unos entrañables amigos y finalmente nos acoplamos a un tour por Italia, el sur de Francia y España. Una maravilla de viaje que espero repetir algún día.

Hi Everyone, I may be the worst blog writer in the history of blogs....... Den Haag was so cool to see, all of the sights and foreign sounds. Straight out of a movie. My favorite is crocketta or bederballen (spelling who knows?). Similar in flavour to Swedish meatballs, they are balls of meat…

Denn Hague, political capital of The Netherlands, has a sleepy town feel on a Sunday. A couple of lovely squares lined with funky cafes gave me the impression that this would be a cool place to chill out with friends on a sunny afternoon, but in terms of sightseeing there didn't seem to be muc…

stayed there for a week. family visit plus Amsterdam and driving around "the low lands"

The second of the jam packed days began around 11:00am. The plan: Snowboard. Yes, snowboarding in July in The Netherlands. You’re probably thinking that it’s impossible, but not when the slopes are indoors. It was even below sea level!After a quick breakfast, we hopped on the tram that took us …

Kampeer rondreis

The other capital city of Netherlands. The administrative centre, the parliament based city. A small city, and a quiet one too with its reliable tram system. A short tram ride through the city and we found the Vredespaleis (the peace palace). This place in Carnegieplein is not opened for tourists, …

My journey by rail through central Europe. 25.12.2006-07.01.2007

(Originally published at http://www.troysgonewalkabout.com) Amber and I met outside Amsterdam’s Central Station at 9:30am and after a bit of time tossing up different train ticket combinations we decided to drop any pretence of any long term planning for the weekend and started with an open tic…

Went to Den Haage for the day, met up with a friend and walked around the city of Embassies. It was really beautiful (despite the weather) and even though I failed to have a 'culture' day I still had a really great time! 

Nach neun Tagen Amsterdam war es an der Zeit, aufzubrechen, so schön es mit Erik und Katie auch war. Sie machte den Anfang und wir waren beide nicht wirklich glücklich, als wir den Abschied um halb zehn nicht mehr länger herauszögern konnten. Wir umarmten uns und sie versprach, mich noch w…
