Hot Times in Holland
Wednesday August 20, 2008
If you're getting excited by running now that you've seen Jamaica's Usain "Lightning" Bolt make a mockery of every "runner" that came before him looking for Olympic sprinting gold, you'll want to gear up for Dam tot Damloop. The 24th edition of the Dam tot Damloop run will take place on Sunday September 21, 2008. Last year 35,000 participants showed up in Amsterdam for the 10 EM (English Mile) workout. You can just watch, of course.
Also announced in Amsterdam is the new All-in-1 Travel Ticket. It's good for both airport transportation to the city and back, as well as city trams, buses and the metro.
And if that weren't enough hot news for the Holland traveler, we have word that the miniature city Madurodam is now offering a laser light show called Madurodam by Light: "Every evening after sunset visitors will be submerged in a fascinating Dutch fairytale that tells the story of Hansje Brinker and the fight against the water. Madurodam uses the most modern projection techniques for this show of water, light and lasers."

Thank you for your site …it is helpful to me. My family will be traveling to Germany for our 25th anniversary during Christmaas week. Just want to eat, drink and be merry and maybe do a little sightseeing. We plan on staying in the Bavaria region and we are on a budget.By the way..my husband and I met there in 1983 so this will be an unforgetable trip. Thanks again and if you have any tips for us personally I would appreciate that.
