Europe Part 7 - Luxemborg, Belgium, and Netherlands

While we were staying in Trier Germany we decided to drive over to Luxemborg. That way we could have dinner and visit our 4th country.


There was this really cool pathway and wilderness area in the valley below Morgan. Unfortunately we didn't have time to really explore it as much as we would have liked to.


Then we stopped in Belgium on our way to the Netherlands. We got to see one of Lindsay's cousins and ate a Belgiun Frituur. A frituur is a casual eatery - and the one we visited was just full of fried foods. You would pick which foods you wanted, the chef would fry it and then serve it to you.

We did get some fries, or frittes, with a couple different sauces to try on top.


We ended our trip at Noordwijk an See in the Netherlands. Our initial plan was to drive in to Amsterdam on our last day, but the night before we all decided to stay at the beach and just relax. SO glad we did. Noordwijk an See is another place that I would love to go back and visit again.

Here is a picture of one of the canals you see everywhere in Holland.


The Beach! It was cold, but we did do some swimming.



We went on a great bike ride through some sand dunes. Renting bikes was so much fun.





A trip to Holland is incomplete without seeing some windmills!




We got to see the 'Coast guard' boat dock into a amphibious truck.


Flying a kite ... but only for a second, it really was too windy.


A statue to motherhood.



Happy to go home. (This picture was before the airplane took off. Once we started flying, I felt SO sick. Bleh. Luckily, I married one of the greatest guys in the world, and he was so accommodating and helpful to me. The flight attendants were also great, finding me simple biscuits and getting me Sprite and Gingerale.)
