Over 12,000 Miles Traveled, 5 hotels Slept In, 3 Countries Visited, and 1 Very Special Wedding Anniversary. Just a few stats on Christine and my trip to Europe during beginning of October. I will share the highlights.
-We arrived in Chicago and had to sprint through O'Hare to catch our next flight. Thanks to the consistency of O'Hare, our flight to Amsterdam was also delayed and we made the flight easily.
Made it to Schipol Airport and took a train directly to Zwolle.
Rented bikes with our luggage strapped on by bike tire tubes.
Beautiful view of the canals in Zwolle's City Center.
Ate a nice meal at the Brusserie in the city center.
We took a bike tour of the city last Saturday and stopped by the college I attended. Allow yourself a second to try and pronounce the name on the sign....we just called it the GH :)
We climbed to the top of the Pepperbus, the Basilica that is the highest building in the city.
Sassenpoort
We took a nice bike ride outside of town.
Dutch Traffic Jam.
Best highlight of our time in the Netherlands was reconnecting with Bernard and Esther and getting to meet and play with their kids.
It was nostalgic and fun to be in Zwolle again, but it was truly special to spend time with friends that I have't seen in 8 years. A big thank you to the Petter's for their hospitality including the special supper (Gourmet) that they prepared for us on Saturday night!
In front of the Rijskmuseum
We took a canal tour and got to see historic Amsterdam and hear about the city's golden age.
Supposedly, you can see seven canals through here.
Our tour guide looked and sounded like Austin Powers goldmember character.
We able to try some delightful Belgian beers.
We spent most of our time in Amsterdam near the Rijksmuseum which is where our hotel was.
