Houses on a canal in Amsterdam.

First Stop: Amsterdam, The Netherlands

I am in Amsterdam from April 1 – 9th. April 1st was a travel day. Went in to the city on the 2nd and 3rd – to the Anne Frank House and Rijksmuseum. I am staying outside of Amsterdam in a town called Nieuw-Vennep (new Vennep) at an AirB&B. I like my room and the hosts are very nice and attentive if you need their help.

The bus ride into Amsterdam is about 50 min each way. I took a day off from sightseeing on the 4th and then headed out to Keukenhof Gardens on Friday the 5th. I will try and post some photos. Still trying to figure out how to enter things on the blog without it taking hours! 🙂 On Airbnb the home is listed as hosted by Elly, Nieuw Vennep. The room is very comfortable and the location is great for catching the bus in to Amsterdam. The ride was very easy everyday. Also easy to get to Keukenhof from here.

My home for 8 days…on the second floor.

Heading to Bruge, Belgium on Tuesday the 9th. Not easy to get there from here…would have involved 4 bus/train changes but the host of the airb&b found the Flixbus. From here I take the bus to the airport, find the Flixbus and then a 5 hour bus ride but I don’t need to move my luggage! Wahoo. I can do the 5 hr ride. See you guys in a couple of days.
