Now in the town of Brugge

I find this city very beautiful and historic.  It reminded us of Venice a little with the water ways as well.

Heading to Rotterdam for finale of Tour

Hi Everyone

Sorry for the delay.  We left Luxemborg and then headed Brugge, Gent and Brussels and then on to Rotterdam where our tour ended.  We then took the train to meet our family in Geldrop which is just out of Eindhoven.  These are some photos of our trip around Belgium.  All the cities have been stunning with lots of history.  The weather for the tour was absolutely fabulous.  We were very lucky with regard to the weather.

These are photos of Gent.  Photos of the two square and the guilder houses and their castle fort which is in the main square

Welcome to Amsterdam

Hi Everyone

We arrived from Athens to Amsterdam. Had a good flight and then had three days to look around Amsterdam before we joined our tour of Holland, Luxemberg and Belgium.  We kept ourselves busy by going to the Wax Museum, Heinken Brewery and the famous Red Light District.  Very interesting place down there where everything goes.  There are about 850,0000 people is Amsterdam but its the bikes that you cannot believe.  I must admit we got taken out nearly a few times.  They have complete control of the roads.  Great place.

Welcome to Greece

The first thing when we arrived in Olympia was to catch up with the delay in our tour.  We went to see the Olympia museum before 8pm that night and then on to the ancient site of the first Olympics that were held in 79AD.  Amazing history with regard to the Olympics and how it all begin.  This is the site where the torch is lit for the Olympics and with the sun only no matches.

Say Goodbye to Italy and ferry to Greece

Ferry crossing from Italy to Greece was 5 hours delayed due to the Pope's visit the day before.  We had to kill a few hours in Acondo Port until the ship arrived.  Huge ferry and we sailed over night to Greece.
