Across the pond!

Well we've made it across the pond without any major hiccups. once we got here to Haarlem we had a little trouble getting to our hotel. first we got off at the wrong train station then we couldn't find the place. turns out there aren't very many large taxi cabs in the city either so we were forced to walk nearly 1 mile with all our luggage... 2 x 50 pound bike boxes and 2 x 50 pound bags. it sucked!  we made it and once we did we were able to assemble the bikes and go for a little ride.

Haarlem is awesome with canals and waterways running right through the center of town. another interesting tid bit... the church outside the hotel was built in 1370!!!
