See bird hides, eat seafood, view art galleries, a tea factory, ex-pirates' houses, windmills, old churches, wild flowers, calm canals and a national park island, Schiermonnikoog, where no cars are welcome and the North Sea beaches stretch for miles. The best food in Holland at campsite Herberg.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13354 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13246
There are also special 'trekkershutten', little wooden cabins at many campsites throughout Holland specifically for cyclists. It is cheap, basic but clean accommodation usually with 2 bunkbeds, a kitchen and a terrace. Even though I have been on holidays to far away places as a child, my best memories are still these cycling holidays!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13246 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7886
And if you decide to hire a bike yourself to see around the city, take care when crossing the tramlines. Don’t cross at a shallow angle as the wheels can get stuck in the track!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7886 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7258 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7258 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4436
Our guide, the irrepressible and engaging Egg, was incredibly learned on the city's history and liberal sex and drugs laws. All of which he assured us he'd researched in depth purely for our benefit. An excellent introduction to the city that makes you understand what Amsterdam is all about. Oh, and there's a free beer token in it too ... what more could you possibly want?]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4436
