Mur’s Epilogue Final
Pretty much every village, town and city in all of Holland and at least Flanders in Belgium have a few common high points. No matter how big or small the place ,they all have at least one and often several … Continue reading
Mur’s Epilogue 1
Here are some of my take aways from the last month in Holland and Belgium. Moving in the Netherlands looks like a very expensive process. I watched some movers working over a couple of days. The unit being moved into … Continue reading
The Netherlands and Belgium Epilogue
I have been thinking a lot about what an English fellow we met at a ferry said to us. He said we had too much stuff. He was camping and still only had four panniers, albeit large ones. He thought … Continue reading

Amsterdam Day Two
After yesterday’s strike outs, I would say we hit a home run today. Bus timing was perfect. We choose the MOCO Museum (Modern and Contemporary) and the crowd is very light. The museum has art from Andy Warhol, Bansky, Kusama … Continue reading
Amsterdam
Our day starts with a missed bus. Then on the second bus a missed stop, strike two. Strike three is our visit to the Van Gogh Museum. We take away two things from our visit. First, it is ridiculously crowded … Continue reading

The Hague Day Two
Our mission today is the Kunstmuseum and the Peace Palace. One bus ride deposits us outside the Kunstmuseum and we are awed at the building immediately. The Kunstmuseum was built in 1935 as a modern museum that was accessible to … Continue reading
The Hague
Our The Hague explorations start today. We have a 10.45am appointment at the Mauritshuis Museum. It seems you have to book tickets and an entrance time to museums in Europe. It makes for a better distribution of crowds, so they … Continue reading
Brielle to The Hague (Scheveningen) – 47 km
It is the fourth day of riding in a row. Our legs are feeling it as we start out but the stiffness eases and they spin nicely. A 10 km ride gets us to a ferry to cross the Nieuwe … Continue reading
