RE: Walking the Streets of Amsterdam

in Worldmappin4 years ago

A nice report once again. So you were holding back on us the whole time, huh? The last time I went to Amsterdam I had the hardest time finding a dog-friendly hotel. At 1:00 A.M. it got on my nerves and I just drove home. Helluva trip, Saarbrücken to Amsterdam and back on the same day :-) I haven't been there since, but the next time I'll have the camper, if traveling w/o a sheaf of paperwork is still permitted then. Have a great weekend :-)

Sort:  

We never had a problem finding a hotel that allowed pets, but that being said, the pet fees in The Netherlands were the highest we've seen in all of Europe. 30 euros per night! And we stayed two nights! Most places are 7-12€ and sometimes a flat rate of 20€ or something like that. 30 was a slap in the face. A camper would solve that issue nicely - that is, if you ever get to use it. Hopefully late spring things start to open up again.

Oh, I'll get to use it! I'm fully prepared to have the coming unconstitutional travel ban in Germany tested in court. Europe, of course, will be closed to me for the time being. I'm not willing to submit to any test, nor am I willing to be a guinea pig for anybody's vaccine. And I don't have the financial wherewithal to fight foreign legal battles. It is what it is...

Yeah I hear ya. Germany is a big country though so you have plenty of options. France is similar in that sense which is good. We have a lot we still want to see here.

Options, yes. But I will get fined and I will have to fight it, for the privilege of going somewhere where everything is closed. But I'll do it. Provoking a fine is the cheapest way to court for a little guy like me. I can't afford a constitutional lawyer to go to the supreme court ahead of time. I hope at least a few other people will also resist this emerging dictatorship with civil disobedience. It's almost too late.
