A rainy Thanksgiving day in Amsterdam (just another Thursday in The Netherlands), celebrating the American feast with German friends, and the “home stretch” of our journey makes a stop in the medieval Belgian city of Bruges.
Thanksgiving in America is just another Thursday in Amsterdam. We walk about the central city and tour the Hemp Museum.
A travel day takes us out of Amsterdam to a brief stop in Cologne, and down the Rhein to Freiburg.
We join our American friends in preparing Thanksgiving dinner to share with their German friends.
With a few more days to explore before our flight home from Heathrow, we take a day to go back to Cologne and on an overpriced train to Belgium.
Walking the streets of a town that looks largely unchanged after 500 years.
