Tuesday 13th May - To Amsterdam

Farewell to the faithful Peugeot - sad to leave her - a rye smile from the dealer when I tell him I would think about buying one in Australia.

Taxi to the TGV and on our way to Amsterdam - damm! - fire in a station - TGV brought to a long standstill and then reduced to creeping along its banked tracked uncomfortably tilting its passengers as it negotiates the long curves designed for speeds 200 kilometer higher.

Miss the connection in Paris - line up in queue to get the last train - eventually get on board and enjoy a nice, well serviced trip to Amsterdam - wonderful food and great Australian wine served at the seat - all's well that ends well!

Taxi to the hotel - Nicholas Witsen located on the perimeter of the city - nice and clean.
