Netherlands

September 2012

Good weather allowed me the chance to combine visits to old haunts like Maastricht and Valkenburg with some new adventures. I did in fact visit Arnhem and the Openluchtmuseum way back in 1983, but memories from those day are dim, and a return seemed a good idea. Completely new were trips to the picturesque village of De Rijp and the Railway Museum in Utrecht.
