The Netherlands

A bit of a slow start – Detroit > Amsterdam > Alkmaar

I watched the sunrise as we landed in Amsterdam.
At Schipol (pronounced Skip ul) Airport I noticed this clever method of monitoring the rest rooms.
We got to Alkmaar at around 8 am and check in was at 3:00 – so, we had PLENTY of time to explore the town. We took the scenic route through these large old beech trees.
Many “flowers” like these are strewn across the streets, giving the town a festive vibe.
Could not resist taking this pic – such a perfect entrance!
Speaking of irresistible – I just can not pass up a grebe❣️

  1. It is always fun to watch the sunrise when you are landing in Europe. Beautiful place to wait for your hotel room.

      1. Oh, I meant the decorative metal (?) art hanging over the street. Does seem late for wisteria, but maybe in a different climate…..

  2. I liked the bench in front of the garage door next to the “perfect entrance.” No need for a car, perhaps. Might bicycles be stored there? Pretty perfect!
