only 5 miles from amsterdam and you are, according to one taxi driver, WAY OUT in the country! this place was just charming. we got in quite late and had to take a cab, and our driver said that in 13 yrs, he'd never been out to that village! the wagon was super cute and clean, though it's a short walk to use the restroom and shower in a large utility room at the back of the main house. we awoke to the sounds of sheep baaa'ing and took the bikes for a short ride by the fields full of cows and across the street to the charming tiny canalside village surrounding the (very) old clock tower church. we wished we could have stayed longer and ridden to other villages. william brought us a basketful of goodies for breakfast, including sheep cheese produced onsite and the best local milk!

there was some confusion on my part with the description of the listing. you write and communicate with henk for the details and the reservation, but the wagon is on another property. we never met henk at all, who was polite and quick with communication and problem-solving, but were looked after by the owners of the sheep farm. william also drove us to the bus stop when we were ready to leave, which was probably 10-15 mins away.

all in all it was a fabulous choice, and i do hope to return one day when we have more time in the amsterdam area to lollygag about its beautiful countryside and idyllic villages.
