The end is near (oh and holland and belgium)
Our fist stop on this last voyage was from Valence TGV to Paris (luckily we had no problems), then it was from Paris Gare du Nord to Den Haag Central station on the train service Thalys, which was awesome because it was like an airplane where they served you really disgusting food, but was nice because at least you got food. This train trip turned out to be really bad because the train ahead of us hit a car and the car turned on fire.. so we had to back up and get on really crowded buses for like one hour (our bus driver got lost) and then we finally arrived at ANOTHER train station where we crammed like 200 people onto a little train. Then we arrived at a station that was one stop closer to our destination and we met our uncle Rob. Rob and his family, like our family, are living in Europe. They are living in Holland for two years due to the fact that Rob has to work. In Holland they bike Everywhere, there is hardly any danger of getting hit by a car. If a car and a bike get into a wreck the bike has a 70% chance of winning the case. I to really liked Holland because of the biking factor. It was great to see Robs family. One of my favorite parts of being there was Amsterdam.



After our trip to Amsterdam and Leiden, we moseyed on down to Bruge where we met up with our good friends the Links. We all got settled in then went out for a very nice dinner. The second day we went on an incredible tour of Flanders Fields. And then the third day we moved on to brusseles where we didn't see anything really great, and we stayed in a HORIBLE hotel.
