Europort to Den Bosch
21/07/07 15:12 Filed in: Ducati Trip - Netherlands, Germany, Italy
The ferry was on time and the weather was good. We stopped for a coffee on route to Den Bosch and arrived at lunchtime.
A hotel had been reserved for us which we had been told was on the main square. Den Bosch was a maze of one way streets and we were unable to make our way to, or even find, our hotel. By abandoning the Monster and walking through town I eventually found the Golden Tulip Hotel Central. Back to the bike and we made our way to the hotel and checked in.
Our sommelier for the trip, Kijn, lives and works in Den Bosch. We met for a coffee before Karl and I wandered off for a look around this very attractive town.
We had dinner at a new restaurant, Coquille, where Kijn works. Coquille was one of 5 Dutch restaurants appearing in the reality TV show Mijn Tent is Top where the audience vote for their favourite of the 5. Coquille won.
It was a lovely dinner. We sat down at 19:00 and left at about 00:30 having been well looked after by Kijn and her colleagues.
