This is a bicycle riding city!! All of those are bicycles in the background. They havebike lanes right along side the sidewalks & you have to beware if you are a pedestrian &
want to cross over the bike lane so as not to get hit by a bike because they have the
right of way.
They have many beautiful buildings & Cathedrals, & lots of tall blond beautiful people, but it wassad for me to hear that hardly anyone goes to church anymore & they are turning all
their Cathedrals into Museums. And they were the first country to vote for or sanction gay marriage.
We enjoyed a canal cruise & went by the house that Anne Frank & her family hid in for 2 yrs.from the Nazis during World War II. And here's where Anne Frank wrote her diary that
is the most published book, second only to the Bible. The only member to live through & return
after the war was the father. The house looks like one of these houses here. These houses have big hooks in the walls that they use to hoist up furniture & take through the windows because
there hallways are to small.
We took a 9 story ferry across the English chanel from Dover to Calaise, France.When getting ready to dock, we couldn't hear our instructions & found ourselves lost on the bottom
2 decks of the ferry in a sea of Tour Buses they call Coaches!! There must of been 200+ of them.
Oh my goodness we thought we were going to miss our connection, but Kelly in his
craziness, started repeating "Make Way for the Queen!" as we made our way back up the stairs
against masses of people coming down, everyone smiled or chuckled & let us by!! What a hoot!!
