WELCOME BACK TO THE NETHERLANDS

FLYING SLOVENIA TO NETHERLANDS
I arrived here in Amsterdam April 14, 2013 and am departing April 14, 2014 from Amsterdam. I decided to come a few days early, that may have been a mistake? The entire downtown is booked, except the very high end. ALL the AirB&B accommodations were booked too. I found a room in The Hague, at HOTEL STUDIO. A super clean and friendly place and only a 45 minutes from Amsterdam.
I’m in the Netherlands? So rent a bike and find a coffee shop.

THE PRE-ROLLS COME WITH TOBACCO. WHY?

I RODE UP AND DOWN THE BOARDWALK
The Hotel/Hostel backed up to the park

I TOLD HER I ALREADY HAVE A GIRL FRIEND
The biking thing is for real here. I saw lots of people of all ages, sexes, and attire riding to their destination, amazing you can survive without a car given the proper facilities.

THEY WERE COLLECTING WOOD- BY CARGO BIKE!
I took some fun Bike Photos:

NEON BIKE LIGHT IN BIKE RENTAL SHOP

I ALSO SAW A BIKE WITH AN ATTACHED SURF-BOARD RACK

NICE LITTLE SET-UP

PINK CRUISER
I could hardly walk down the sidewalk because of all the parked bicycles.

THESE BIKES WERE TAGGED FOR REMOVAL
Hostel’s are great for saving money, because you can cook a few meals at “home.”

NATASA’S HOMEMADE TROPICAL GRANOLA, VIETNAMESE COFFEE, KIWI AND YOGURT, MMMMMM
I would have liked to stay at this hostel one more night but I booked one night in Amsterdam. It was OK, nothing to bag about, they had a bed. I was 5 minutes from the red light district (didn’t go) and 20 minutes from the airport.
It was a last minute opportunity, thanks to my dear friend Hans, I got to ride in the business class section. Man they eat good up here!
I know I had a different NEXT? topic, (it’s coming). I thought the photos of the Netherlands were worthy of a post.
Thanks for reading.
