The Dutch aren't bogged in their clichés, even though bikes, dykes, windmills and blazing flower fields are pretty much the norm outside the major cities. Do as the locals do - grab a bike and explore. It's a very big small country, and full of salutary surprises.
One of the chief pleasures of the place is its lively contrast between pragmatic liberalism and the buttoned-up just-so primness of a culture founded on Calvinist principles. In Dutch society, ostentation is anathema and fuss of any kind is regarded as undignified.

If the mariners of old could image how we travel today they would question the perils they put themselves through. We jump into a tube and hurl ourselves through the atmosphere at 600 mph. We drink wine and sleep along the way. Geez! Things ... Read more >

Ok, so after a sombre last post, I am writing this from a
Paris hostel after a great few days in London and Amsterdam. We got back to

Another
tasty and relaxed breakfast consumed before we rugged up and headed out to
