Hanover, Germany to Amsterdam, The Netherlands

We had a busy day today. We went out and found a great place for coffee and pastry.

Our coffee shop for breakfast, Machwitz Kaffee
This very cool building was right across the street from our hotel
I’m going to miss fresh croissants for breakfast!

Our train leaving Hanover wasn’t until about 4 so after we checked out of the hotel we stored our bags and went exploring.

Because it was a weekday the town hall was open. Inside we walked around a bit. They had 4 large scale models of Hanover over the years.

We stopped for coffee and a snack.

Although we had first class train tickets we did not have an assigned seat. After we got on the train we found a place in second class to stow our bags and then, after we had pull out of the station, we found a conductor in one of the first class compartments. She found us seats even though almost every seat was taken. The train ride from Hanover to Amsterdam took almost 5 hours.

Duke’s seat. He has gone to retrieve our bags and stow them on the luggage rack in our compartment

In Amsterdam we walked to our hotel and then found a Dutch bar where we could have beer and a meat and cheese board for dinner.
