Another post that is a bit late, mostly due to our move, Covid and forgetfulness.
August 25 - September 9, 2019
This is the trip where all the transportations had problems, Storms, delays, cancellations, closings . . . you name it. But at the end it was a wonderful trip. It all started because my husband was supposed to have a work trip to Utrecht. That got cancelled but we decided to go anyway. They did add 2 days of work trips from Amsterdam for him. One to Belgium and another to Copenhagen. I didn't go to either one of them, instead I opted exploring Amsterdam by myself. After that a week on the Rhine Valley.
