Because I have been learning Dutch over the past year or so, I have been flying to Holland on a regular basis to practice both my flying and my (very poor) language skills.
Here are a few articles on this blog about my various Dutch flying experiences and some interesting places to visit when you get there.
- Flying into Lelystad airport (about 30m from Amsterdam)
- Video of a flight from Schiphol back to Denham
- Airport information for Rotterdam Airport
- Flying into Amsterdam Schiphol
- Mauritshuis museum in The Hague (to see the Girl with the Pearl Earring)
- La Rive restaurant in Amsterdam
- Parkheuvel restaurant in Rotterdam
