Henk’s country home, only minutes from Amsterdam, was a fantastic place for us to settle, deal with Jetlag, sleep very comfortably and eat wonderful breakfasts! We began our stay with an excellent meal at restaurant Dijks (highly recommended) and Hank graciously offered to pick us up. His hospitality was extraordinary in every way during our stay; even arranging rides for us to and from the Metro when the weather was poor. As we were there in late April, and had only a few days, we did not take the opportunity to explore the countryside; we will certainly do so when we return!
