Lunch in sassenheim
leaf shaped shortbread. In front of a fireplace of course to dry our
wet jackets and etc
Unfortunately boskoop is 60mins from here via train, (2 line
transfers) and then 90 minutes from Amsterdam, which sees Kim and I
missing the bus back to the hotel. So we've decided to go back to
Amsterdam from here Now which should give us time to tour Anne franks
house before catching the bus back to the hotel to change out of wet
clothes and then go back in to town for dinne and a cruise of the
canals. If it wasn't raining so determinedly today we could have done
it all, but we really shouldn't risk missing the bus and spending the
evening in wet clothes... And having to catch a 40€ taxi back to the
hotel. I've missed a few things this trip and it's very sucky...
So waiting for taxi now and will be driveN to voolhous train station,
from there to Leiden central and from there to Amsterdam... Hopefully
all in 60 minutes or less :)
Still on the train!
taking pictures harder, bit also makes for a cozy relaxing train ride...
Lucky I have the addresses for oma and opa's houses in sassenheim and
boskoop and also downloaded the streetmaps on to my phone which ALSO
has gps so getting around will be a piece of cake. Only trouble is I
don't have a map with street numbers so we have to hit the street in
the middle and count our way out...
Omas place looks to be a 3 km walk from th train station so hopefully
it won't be windy otherwise it will be a cold and miserable walk.
Taking a lot longer than I thought it would, but the from omas town I
think we're only taking 1 train to opa's town, then 1 train to
Amsterdam... So after sassenheim things should move a lot more smoothly.
