0 geogphotos Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) I really enjoy Rotterdam - modern architecture, Spido boat trips around the port to see the shipping close up, and river taxi down to Dordrecht stopping at Kinderdyjk. Not so keen on Amsterdam but Wim's home city of Haarlem is a delight. I spent a couple of summers working in the bulb fields at Hillegom ( late 1970s) and Haarlem is where we bulb factory workers would go for weekends to waste our wages in the bars ( and also to Amsterdam but that always got too out of control!)

0 Sultanpepa Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I'm going to pitch Glasgow into the ring. Plenty to do and see (lots of it free) on a city break. Great food including fresh seafood and amazing curry houses. Try a Haggis dish and Cullen Skink. 🤤 Or maybe try Edinburgh which is very photogenic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed them both, for different reasons. Access by train was easy, too. I’m planning to return in a few months. You live in a wonderful place.

I'm pleased you enjoyed it though. ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill If you love rain, come now. We would love to have a real winter, but maybe not this year. (Don't mention the war.) Our regular winters are now much like winter in London: rain and sleet but seldom real snow nowadays let alone frozen canals. Personally I think a real winter is fine, also photographically, but otherwise I much more prefer the sun. Which is why I am rooting for Malaga in winter. Having said that, Amsterdam under a good blanket of snow is a sight not to be missed. Ice but no snow is also not bad though 😁 Just now I see they actually did stuff to the image. Spot the differences. Hello Amsterdam magazine. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ed Rooney Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Every winter in NYC, we have a couple of serious snow falls and it doesn't take long for it to turn black. But NYC is not in Europe, is it? Micheal, I did a shoot in Bruges towards the end of the film era -- pretty city but with a lot of rain and bad bistros.

0 sooth Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 If you don't like new York, you will probably not like Berlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cal Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) I quite fancy Brussels - not been yet. Prague is also a beautiful place and not too expensive. Got a bit of that eastern vibe going for it as well, and the language sounds similar (to English ears) to Russian. Petrin Hill is well worth the walk up, as is the view from the top of the big oblong building that holds the mausoleum of Klement Gottwald. The National Monument at Vitkov.

0 Ed Rooney Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) I'm a native New Yorker -- been to Brussels and Berlin. Young people are big on Berlin now. I remember going there and thinking I was going to find spies walking up and down alleys. But Berlin is a green city full of parks.

He was trying to break into films and in fact played the lead in a bad Spanish horror film. Kids liked to follow him around calling him Monster Man.
