Nice trip!

a bit unlucky with the weather , at least in the Dutch part (haven't watched the rest yet) usually it's a lot sunnier in July ! Those windmills with the saws kickstarted the pre- industrial revolution before the steam engine... it made the dutch (and the other european countries) able to mass produce the many ships they needed to colonize most of Africa and large parts of Asia . it was a real revolution in ship building. I like that you gals are still making hand written travel diaries in this digital age. You future selves (and maybe offspring) will love these in 40 years when anything made by a current I-phone will be forgotten or at best stored in some old archive that nobody will remember

Belgium and the Netherlands used to be 1 country and the Belgium part was actually the Richer Part. That's why the Belgian old cities are even more posh and decorated than the Dutch ones.. But later Amsterdam took over as the more powerful city and in 1830 the Belgians decided they would rather be their own country.

Hey, I was in Dinant last year. Gorgeous place, amazing waffles, fries and mussels.

I would love to read the journals. Waar were your impressions. What DID you like , what not. What DID yin expect? What was a surprise? Etc.

Busy schedule! Good that you left the US for a while, always good to experience life from a different angle. Very interested in the coming 2 weeks as well.

[@ermul9126]

Awesome!

[@antonquist3779]

Very brave to travel independently like that on your first venture overseas... I hope you enjoy!

This was filmed already quite a while ago. I live in Utrecht and I can confirm that the scaffolding at the Dom-tower church has already been removed for more than a month and it took lots of weeks to get rid of that. Nice that you visited my beautiful city. Many tourists only visit the obvious locations and many not so obvious locations are much more interesting. BTW: you pronounce Gouda a bit like GOW (like now) DAH.

[@EmperorStorky]

There is only one way to pronounce Gouda and thats the correct way. Not like oh you pronounce it a bit like....

Bad luck with the weather? !!
