we will be traveling from Boston, as always on a red eye arriving mid morning.
1. Is it worth staying for the rest of the day and one night in Brussels before joining the tour in Ghent the next day? or would you just skip Brussels and go straight to Ghent?
2. If staying in Brussels what would you suggest for things to do? a nice, moderately priced restaurant?
3. In Rotterdam we are so excited to visit the KeuKenhof garden. It looks like they are not allowing much time for this. description is "we will begin the day amoung the flowers, then we will wind our way north stopping for lunch ...." The garden opens at 8am. If we leave at 11am that allows only 3 hours. Is that enough or should we try to go during some of the free time we have. It is the last day in Rotterdam. Also I think we would need to buy the tickets in advance.
We hope to spend our free day taking the water taxi to Kinderdijk. does that take the entire day or could we split our time between another tour of the Keukenhof garden (or other garden) and Kinderdijk?
4. we will be in Amsterdam at the end of the tour, 2 days before Kings day. should we cut and run or stay to enjoy the celebration?
5. If you had an extra 5 days to go anywhere in Europe at the end of this trip (in April) where would it be? we do not ski and not crazy about cold weather.
I will probably have other questions, but those are mine for now.
