Before leaving from Enkhuizen, change a little 'value. We arrive in Amsterdam, in the market place, pocheggiamo fee in the middle. The old houses, very wrong, along the path along the canal through the center, the streets are very dirty and the district is that red light. Visitamo the Rijks museum, very beautiful. In the afternoon we move to Den Haag (The Hague), discrete town, with shops, begins to rain. Visit the Binnen Hof, beautiful courtyard with a church and castle, the outside is a beautiful lake around the castle with a fountain. Close to Bergen op Zoom hotel accommodation on the first floor, a large complex, with restaurant and large bar.

We do a breakfast at hotel and leave for Antwerpen. Between the Netherlands and Belgium there is just a white line on the road, not the usual customs. Antwerp is the ongoing celebration of the country, there are stalls and people in medieval costumes Antwerp After we head to Brugge, where we turn a speedboat for the channels and then continue on foot. We buy the lace, we see, the streets, working to bolster. The basilica is decorated with a statue by Michelangelo and paintings by Mantegna. The pulpit is carved in wood. The basilica Heiling Bloed (Holy Blood) are in fact two superimposed churches. Searching a nearby hotel in Antwerp, but it's busy, found at the end hotels Sink Niklaas (twinned with Lucca), near the station there is a sculpture representing a unique monument in kangaroo sheets of sheet metal. Dinner in the room.

After breakfast departure for Brussels, parked at the Atomium then crossed the Park de Laeken Belvedere, visit the Chinese Pavilion and Japanese Tower. We move to the center by car to see the Royal Palace, the EEC and the fiftieth anniversary of the palace. From Brussels along the beautiful road that leaves the city, passing through dense forests arrive in Luxemburg. We find it messy and a bit disappointed.
We continue the trip to Germany, walk the vineyards of the Rhine valley to cross over to France a few kilometers. Riattraversato the ground and taken the highway to the south, just before we stop Freiburg to dine and visit the city.
The diary continues with the Luxembourg
