DAY THREE













I woke suddenly to find it was already 8am, went for quick breakfast. Arrived a few minutes late for tour,but convinced operators to help me catch up. We picked up a french family also and met the bus at another clog factory! They use german made machines these days.We drove through snow covered countryside taking in Rotterdam, The Hague,Delft and Madurodam. Stopping for an hour in Delft after watching the pottery display,I did finally taste the delicious pea soup. I chatted with a young couple from Hervey Bay.We drove on to the North Seaside where people were actually swimming in 7C temperatures!After more travelling we spent another hour at the tiny Holland theme park of miniatures and as the sun set it became bitterly cold. Back to Amsterdam and dinner at Maccas, met a girl from Melbourne on the tram ride to the hotel, where I had been moved upstairs to a double room.This resulted in temporary loss of my power adaptor but I found it next day.Woke once at 2:30am watched TV then slept well.
