Holland after the tulips

Continuing my running theme of places under a gloomy sky, I finally got round to editing the Holland pictures and got them up online.

There's no doubt that the weekend round the Netherlands was a dissappointment. We arrived under cloud, toured around under a white-out sky, saw no tulips and even the coast was under mist. But then on the final evening and following morning in Amsterdam we got a break and there's some nice pics of us drinking beers...I even had a [schmoke and a] pancake for breakfast.

Keywording this one was fun, we forgot to make a note so Google Maps satellite view to the rescue...
