Happy Easter to my readers.Here is how one rider decorated her bicycle for Easter |
Because it was Easter Sunday, there were not many places open for breakfast. We finally located a bakery and purchased not only breakfast, but lunch as well. There was fresh-squeezed orange juice which was quite delicious, although it would have been even better cold. We ate our breakfast alongside a canal, then returned to the hotel to pack. The train station was a very short walk away, and we arrived with plenty of time to spare. The trip to Paris was uneventful, but the metro transfer from Gare du Nord to Gare de l’Est left us panting slightly, as there was not as much time between train trips as we had heading north. On the train from Paris to Montpellier, we were entertained by a little girl about age 9 who engaged in various tactics to amuse herself including reading over Roger’s shoulder.
Impressions of Amsterdam:
Bicycles everywhere!
Canals lined with houseboats
Much more English spoken here than in France
