Link love (Powered by bikes and BMWs)

It’s been a whirlwind few weeks since we touched down at Heathrow. And the thing is, not every single one of the places we’ve visited warrants a post of its own. Between London and Germany, I haven’t really felt inspired to put pen to paper at length about any of the towns or cities we’ve passed through. So instead, you get a brief summary:

Edinburgh – as one commenter on my London post put it, London failed to truly capture her heart, and I have to agree. Edinburgh, on the other hand? Absolutely brimming with charm – and yes, the accents. Plus, can you imagine walking past a ginormous castle every single day?

Brussels – epic street murals. Oh, and waffles. Otherwise, it was a tad dull, to be honest. I wanted to stop in at Bruges as well, but instead we next visited…

Maastricht – thanks to the Yes and Yes Amsterdam mini travel guide, I was alerted to this quaint little southern Dutch town. Bring a full wallet and empty stomach; unfortunately I did this the wrong way around.

Amsterdam – all we expected, really, from canals to bikes to coffee shops and parks, trams and the red light district.

Until I get around to fleshing out my thoughts on Germany, here’s some more good reading to whet your appetite.

I’m not sure if I’ll be online over the next week; if not, I’ll catch you on the flipside. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t.

    Gotta say, Amsterdam is my favorite European city! Did you guys not love it there? I spent 4 days there last fall and it reminded me of SF, from the landscape to the freedom.

    Too bad you missed Brugge. A very quaint little town full of love.

    Ciao from Mallorca!

      Yeah, we liked it a lot! Just didn’t particularly inspire me – nothing new, surprising or wondrous to say about it. Ditto Edinburgh.

    Turns out they’re identical twins and one of them is a placenta hog and the smaller is very likely to have problems. :/ Because of the situation she needs to be driven to a specialist an hour and a half away once a week. It will also be a c-section because the smaller twin can’t handle a vaginal birth.
