Amsterdam & Valkenburg

We have just spent the last 4 days in Holland. 2 Days in Amsterdam and 2 in Valkenburg. What a lovely country. The people are so friendly and always willing to help.

Whilst in Amsterdam we spent far too much money, however it was completely worth it. Lovely food, tasty beers and coffee shops galore. Amsterdam is a lovely city and we would recommend to everyone. It has so much for all types of people. Great architecture and museums, stunning canals and bridges, great nightlife, lots of shopping and it is so different to many other tourist cities. A great place to live the high life.

Valkenburg, a small town near Maastricht, was fantastic in so many other ways. Firstly it was the first campsite where we managed to get electricity. What a useful facility!!! Secondly it is stunning. Everywhere you look the scenery is beautiful. For this reason we decided to spend our time here doing absolutely nothing. We went into the lovely town of Valkenburg but other than that we spent the whole time on site simply relaxing. Oh the luxury of not having anything at all to do has finally set in. Valkenburg is the perfect place to relax whilst on holiday. There is enough to do nearby to keep you amused however we were more than happy taking in the scenery from the site.

HOLLAND 9/10
