Anyone looking for a great small family-run B&B in nearby Haarlem may want to look at the Bot family's B&B in the heart of Haarlem, lovingly set on a canal in this neat old regional town - I love day tripping into Amsterdam for the day and much of the night but I love coming back to quiet Haarlem for the night and the friendly environs of the Bot B&B - 40 euros for a single room with unlimited buffet breakfast - clean and safe and you will never ever touch this price in Amsterdam itself - even place much more costly may not be so nice!
Haarlem is just a 20-minute train ride from Amsterdam but in many ways is a world away from cosmopolitan Amsterdam where in the touristed city centre English seems to be the lingua francs!

It's not Customs, unless you're declaring something. It's Immigration.>
tisk tisk!
Well I think it is really Immigration first then Customs (Douanes on the sign you pass thru to finally get out I think means Customs but you know how dicey my French is!
There are bored looking Customs (Douaniers) sitting watching folks as they finally clear Customs - and they do pull folks over for baggage searches - is that not Customs?
tsk, tsk!

I have been reading all of your trip reports and you seem to travel a lot and it seems that you go from city to city quickly. I was going to ask you to look at topic I posted along with the two itineraries I made after thinking about what people had said. But then I saw you had looked at it, and all you said was ttt??
