RE: Travel Diary 1978 - Part 2 - Dover (UK) - Oostende Belgium - Luxembourg - Holland

Oh sweet Joan

5th September Enroute to Amsterdam will be passing through Rotterdam, Den Haag, Leiden, Delft, Amsterdam. Will try get to Hilversum to see town where other half-s Mom was born, travel onto Arnhem where we will spend the night. Train hopping, some trains in Holland announce the station name just before you arrive (helpful).

Besides an announcement before arriving in a station, the coaches are divided into smokers and non-smokers, the berths seat six in each then then are further divided into silent and talker sections for people commuting wishing to work on trains.

You had my laughing so hard, that darn train system we have. And indeed they say the city name to late. But my country is fun right. Love this, reminiscing about old times is great

Have a great Sunday

Sort:  

Oh boy @brittandjosie your trains had us lost, but lots of fun, very difficult to say which part I enjoyed most.

Having done quite a lot with my Mom in 1974 by bus tour, this time trains was much more entertaining, getting a know a lot more about the local people and history as well.
