From Berlin we did a long drive across to The Netherlands, stopping for a few days in the town of Arhnem. On the way into Amsterdam we said goodbye to our lease car and then spent 4 nights exploring this unique city. Saying our farewell to the continent, we flew across the channel direct to London where we have been for the last week. It's nice in some ways to be back to an English speaking country!
