Today we had our final visitations of the trip, marking our last full day here in the Netherlands. I have to say, we really saved the best for last. Today’s visits were two of my favorite of the whole trip. We started off with a quick tram ride over to the Floating Farm, a company…

Today we took a visit to the InHolland location of Rotterdam. We met up at 9:15 and took a quick tram ride over to the building for the College of Applied Sciences where we met up with our three guides of the day, all faculty of InHolland Rotterdam. We were shown around some of this…

Today we took a trip to the Delta Works here in the Netherlands. The name Delta Works actually refers to a series of projects that took place following the catastrophic floods in here in Holland in 1953. The government, and of course the people, needed a solution to ensure that there would not be such…

We met up for an earlier morning than yesterday at 9:00 and headed over to Rotterdam Centraal train station for our trip to Inholland University. After a quick train ride and a short walk, we were there at the College of Applied Sciences at Inholland’s Delft campus. We met with our two guides for the…

Today we had a later start to the day so everyone could get some well-needed extra sleep. A small group of us went out to a small café a few minutes from our hostel for breakfast, where I had what I would say were the best pancakes I’ve ever tasted, and for only €9! We…

Today we woke up early for a long ride to the Zuiderzeemuseum. We arrived just before they opened, and went out on one of the first boats of the day to the small town of Zuiderzee. On arrival, there were several activities that struck our attention. Some people went to go paddle boating around a…

This morning we departed from the Meininger in Sloterdijk to start the Rotterdam leg of our Netherlands experience. We checked out at 10:00, and got on the road to Zaandijk Zaanse Schans. After arriving, we took a quick picture with the windmills behind us, and coincidentally another group of tourists were walking by and yelled…

Today was our final day in Amsterdam, and what an educational day it was! Both of our museum visits today related to the sad realities of the past where certain religions had to be practiced in hiding. Our first stop of the day was at 10 AM, the Our Lord in the Attic museum. The…

On our third day in Amsterdam, we had to get through the earliest start of the trip. By 6 AM, we were all ready to head out on our private shuttle to Royal FloraHolland. We came in knowing that the scale would be pretty incomprehensible, as Royal FloraHolland is the largest international flower distributor in…

After some very restful and needed sleep following our long day yesterday, we went to eat breakfast at the hotel around 8 and prepared for our journey back to Amsterdam Centraal Station for our canal tour. Once there and in our boat for the canal tour, we started out on our tour starting with some…
