Europe again

Little did I know when we were on our idyllic Europe vacation last June that I would land up here again exactly after a year. This time I went to Amsterdam, Veldhoven, Bussum, Cologne and Munich and I am on my way tonight to London (or rather Bracknell)

There are tons and tons of new things I learnt in these couple of weeks.

Some Ahas were that Cologne and Dusseldorf are just on opposite sides of the Rhein, a mere 30 kms away from each other and there is a ferry (obviously)or hovercraft to take you across.

Also learnt that Cologne and Bonn share an airport. It's called...what else.. the Koln Bonn airport :-)

Gujjus have taken over the world. I met a bunch of them (probably a 100 or so) in a SOTC tour group in Veldhoven, which is this little suburb of Eindhoven. All that Eindhoven really has is Philips. So I am wondering what they would have come to see.

More fun facts to follow in my next post.
