Must admit, the 8 hours I spent in Amsterdam after Nijmegen, was excellent. Had the worst hangover of my life though, so couldn't fully appriciate it, just wanted to get back to the Airport ASAP. But loved paying £6 for a beer in the RDL.
Elfstedentocht, a skating race around eleven towns on the Dutch canal network...rarely possible due to lack of freeze yer balls off winters, think they had it last winter after a long break...only 230Km long, not for wimps!
