2016 Netherlands, Belgium, & France: Amsterdam

Jim and Wayne's Fabulous Adventures

So, we're off on another adventure! And, like all our adventures in the past, there's been a lot of thought into where we're going, what we're seeing and doing, and how it's all going to happen. Maybe too much thought. But, then again, this time we've managed to keep a few days here and there without any real solid plans - no hotel reservations, just broad ideas about where we might go, and what me might do between point "a" and point "b"... I'm setting this thing up in advance so I can (if all goes well) simply open up the blog, add photos and a few thoughts, and not spend every evening of our holiday doing this instead of being there! Wherever "there" is!

Cheers!

Starting our adventures in The Netherlands...

After our 10 hour flight, we met Pat and Jody at the Amsterdam Airport. Poor things, left Salt Lake City at 8:30 a.m., flew to Atlanta, had a 5 hour layover, then got to Amsterdam about 30 minutes before we did. We found our way from the airport to Amsterdam Centraal, then from there to our hotel (Hotel Hegra). We wandered around Amsterdam, then met up with Perry at Winkel's Cafe for some of the world's BEST apple pie! Really! And THEN we had dinner!! Great order for eating! Managed to stay up until 8:00 p.m. (noon the day after we left SLC, and 30 hours after getting up to start our adventures). Day 1 done!
