Windmills

Written on Monday, December 17, 2007

So we landed in Amsterdam and had about a 35 minute drive to get to Leiden. On this drive I counted 15 windmills. It was quite the fun game hunting for them. At first they were all way in the distance so we were pointing out these small dots of windmills. Then we drove right by about 4 of them!

We are staying at the Golden Tulip which is a fitting name for Holland. I walked into our hotel and was immediately happy because the lobby was covered with decorations. They had multiple Christmas trees with lights and the works!

It is crazy how many bikes are outside! They have bike lanes on every road and just millions of bikers all over the place. I have got to watch out for them cause getting hit would not be good! Across from us is the train station and there is a bike parking lot that was full! Check out the ridiculousness!

I went for a run and passed all these stores. I was getting so distracted and ended up going into multiple stores mid run. It is exciting to be out of London and Paris for shopping purposes because things seemed a little more reasonable in price. I must go back when I actually have money on me.
