Day Eight: Mostly Travel

Travel days aren't much fun. Day Eight started in Bruges and ended in Amsterdam; even with a relatively short train trip (three hours? four?) there was lots of bag-pulling, getting lost, and heat. Yes, still heat: at this point in the trip we're consistently hitting 100F during the day.

The room at the Hotel Brouwer (which I link to here because it's a great find, hotel-wise) was quite a relief. We were on the top floor - the "Escher Room" - and with the huge windows open we got every single bit of breeze and slept in relative coolness.

Not bad, I tell you.
