The August weather in the Netherlands stayed a bit warmer and we seized the opportunity to do something outdoors when we saw this weekend was going to be nice. We headed up to Giethoorn, Netherlands, which is about 2 hours slightly northeast of Eindhoven. There was a Starbucks on the way in Arnhem, so I begged Troy to make a bit of detour. It seems silly that everywhere we go I check to see if a Starbucks is on the way. The little things that remind you of home. :)
The town's nickname is the "Venice of the Netherlands". There are no roads into the city, just walking, bike paths, and of course canals. It was such a cute and quaint town to take a stroll thru. It was a busy day here, so we couldn't wait the 4+ hours to reserve a boat, so we didn't get on the water. We walked around, ate a picnic lunch, and fed the ducks. There were lots of bridges and beautiful gardens along the walk.
