And Traveling the World
Today I want to share my itinerary for spending 3 days in Amsterdam with you. This famous city in the Netherlands is one of my favorite European getaways from London, and spending a few days in town is a good way to experience the big sights and smaller places locals love. I’m here now and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. I’ve included a map as well.
It’s a beautiful morning in Delft, Holland. The sun is shining on the canals, the roses are in bloom, and the sugary scent of stroopwafels fills the streets. I duck down a cobbled alley rich with bicycles and emerge to find a view of quintessential Dutch houses. There’s even a windmill in the distance.
I have one day in Utrecht. It’s a quiet morning when I arrive. The narrow cobbled streets are shy with the absence of bicycles and people, and as I approach the tall Dom Tower in the heart of the city center, I can hear my breath in the silence. It’s a treat. I revel in the fact that I have the city to myself, and start my day in Utrecht by exploring hidden corners that I wouldn’t have noticed had I been distracted dodging people and bikes.
It’s raining in Rotterdam. Serious precipitation. None of the spitting drizzle we get in London; this is downpour-grade falling water. But I don’t mind, because even though I only have one day in Rotterdam, I’ve found the best part…and it’s indoors.
