Addendum to Last Amsterdam Post
Given the length of the last post and the number of pictures, and the incredibly slow, intermittent and unreliable wi-fi we have here at Camping Paradijs in Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic, I didn’t include the two maps of our bike routes. Also, some folks don’t care about the bike stuff so they can immediately delete […]
Europe 2014 – Amsterdam – Edam, The Disneyland of Cheese
Timeline: August 9th – 15th Keen to continue day tripping, we set out for Edam and its famous Wednesday cheese market the next day. Located not far from Vliegenbos, the drive didn’t take too long and as we pulled into the outskirts of town we were directed into a grassy parking lot already more than […]
Europe 2014 – Amsterdam – Bikes and Delft
Timeline: August 9th – 15th Editors Note: The last paragraph of the last post had a typo. Here is the corrected version: We love to eat out and yet, that meal in camp, an inexpensive bottle of wine lubricating the gears, evolves from a simple act of preparation into the constant that keeps you grounded. […]
Europe 2014 – Amsterdam – Alone Again, Naturally
Timeline: August 9th – 15th Editors Note: The ride we did the day Beverly was in Copenhagen was not to Marken, but around the neighborhood, about 12 miles round trip. It gave us a good grounding regarding what was near Vliegenbos and provided just the right amount of exercise to fuel a good evening with […]
Europe 2014 – Amsterdam (Bev) – Kansas Meets Amsterdam
Timeline: August 5th – 9th Anticipating a complicated morning and hoping to be able to make a move to Field Three before we ran our various errands, we bought some coffee and chocolate croissants from the market and then checked in at Reception to see about moving. The gods of travel smiled upon us that […]
Europe 2014 – Amsterdam (Bev) – Welcome to Field Number Two at Vliegenbos
Timeline: August 5th – 9th Paul at the Fevery suggested we drive a different route to Amsterdam, one that would take us closer to the coast and allow for a visit to Veere, a charming Dutch village along the way. It was indeed a scenic drive, but unfortunately as we pulled into Veere, there was […]
Europe 2014 – Bruges (Brugge) – We Climb to the Top and Tour the Canals
Timeline: August 2nd – 4th This day would be spent seeing as many of Bruges’s typical tourist spots as possible. After a very good and filling breakfast at the Fevery (ham, cheese, yoghurt, cereal, three different types of bread, jams, etc.) we set out for the Markt Square with a brief but fun detour at […]
Europe 2014 – Bruges (Brugge) – Still a Special Place to Visit
Timeline: August 2nd – 4th We decided to use toll roads this day to cut down on driving time and give us the opportunity to make a stop in Rouen, a town Joanna and I visited in 1984 and known for where Joan of Arc was martyred. In a little less than two hours we […]

Where we’ve been since Caen: Saturday August 2 Brugge Tueday August 5 Amsterdam Saturday August 16 Berlin Monday August 25 […]
