[Holland travel route]

My first time in continental Europe. Went for the weekend with Jeremiah and Buck who were going to visit friends, so thought I'd better take a look at the place. I can tell you that it is flat, has canals, and people riding pushbikes everywhere. Getting there was most of the fun, spent the first night with the Queen of Scandinavia. Took the overnight ferry, rough seas made it more interesting trying to sleep. Jan Turniers parents were kind enough to host us for the Saturday night.

Rough seas. Good thing we were going the other way..

The Queen of Scandinavia.
A much classier lady than New Zealands Interislander ferries.

Home again.
