Oh our aching feet!
We've had quite the adventure, finding our way from Brussels to here! We had some confusion at the train station because there are multiple stops with each city name, and none of the signs have an English translation! We finally found our way to Haarlem and walked the 10 minutes to the hotel, and dropped off our suitcases just as fast as we could!
No time to sleep or eat, we walked BACK to the train station and then attempted (without what I consider much success) to figure out their bus system. It has been an adventure, to say the least! It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't amount to probably close to an extra mile of unnecessary walking. Anyhow - we made it to the pretty tulip gardens and now we're back at the hotel, just trying to decide where to go eat.
The weather has been unexpectedly hot - 80s - so I'm regretting some of the clothes I brought along. I was prepared for rain and cold - this is a different story!
We walked 15855 steps yesterday (I forget how many miles) and today we're already at 5.94 miles - Uff da!
For our late lunch we had the best little Profitteroles in Keukenhoff -- we both got the one with strawberries and whipped cream. Yumm! The coke tastes funny and is approx 2 euros ($3) per 300mL bottle (10 oz) - so I've actually been drinking water. It's not terribly cheap either but once i put my koolaid mix in it, all is well!
Ok, time to go eat supper so I can come back here and pass out!!
Tomorrow we go to the bags and purses museum :-) Yippie!
