March 2010, Amsterdam & Leiden, The Netherlands

March 25th, 2010 by Leo

Doris’ youngest sister, Katherine, is going to stay in Europe for a few months.  Therefore we have planned a few trips with her until May.  Our first stop is Holland.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

We happened to be visiting Holland on the coldest weekend of Europe.  It was very windy.  However it has such a nice scenary!  I especially like the houses along the canals.

There are a lot of bicycles in Amsterdam as it is well planned for cyclists.  This is a ‘bike park’ near the train station:

As you can see it is full of bicycles.  If it was not that windy, we would have hired some bicycles and travel around.

We have also visited Willeke’s place in Leiden.  Thank you for the lovely dinner!  And we also had a very nice chat.

Kat stayed in Leiden for 2 weeks as she was working in Willeke’s lab to gain some experience.  And hence we had a tour at the lab and the hospital (which was attached to the lab) and I have seen a lot of things which I have no idea about!

The trip was great fun and relaxing.
