Paris, Amsterdam & Brussels
Three capitals. Ten days. Pre-Euro.
We landed in Brussels then scooted by train to Paris. Hunkering down in a small hotel on a pedestrian-only street, we set out to explore Paris' outdoor museum - its streets. After five days of non-stop walking and gaping, we hopped back on the train and headed to Amsterdam.
Amsterdam deserved more than few days that we had. After eyeballing Van Goghs, despairing over Anne Frank, downing shots of ginniver and abandoning time in coffee houses - the days flew by. A bicycle trip to the windmill-landscaped outskirts capped our 3-day mission.
Then off to Brussels and Brugge. Belgium was definitely a letdown after Paris and Amsterdam. Pretty but boring. Next time, encore de Paris...and Amsterdam! |
