Thanks to Rick,
our family has in the past 6 years travelled to London & Paris (2002) and Bavaria & Austria (2006) We are looking at the Netherlands, Belgium and Normandy for the summer of 2009. We have no love of big cities so we like to drive around and see small town Europe. Does this sound reasonable for a 2 week stay? Fly into Amsterdam. spend a couple of days(..train to Haarlem one day). Rent a car and travel to Veere, Delft, Maastricht and other small towns for 3-4 more days.(Any you recommend? What should we not miss in Holland??) Drive into Belgium, do Bruges and other small towns (any ideas ??? same question has above)4-5 days. I really have no interest in Brussels or is that a big mistake? How far is Bastogne from Bruge? Drive into Normandy (3 days).Drop off car and take train to Paris to fly home
