Right now, my little brother and my mom are on a trip of their lifetime in Europe. My little brother is a real traveller in our family. I believe he suffers from wonderlust. Everyone in our family loves to travel. Though, he is the one who really makes it happen. Some might the reason is that he is single. Some might say that he is young. But no matter how we put it, he is living the life and I'm glad my mom benefits from his travel savvy. She so deserves it!
Yesterday, they just arrived in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Their first country in their 17 days European trip. My brother planned the trip all by himself. Normally, we like to take guided tours but not my brother. He did some work with the travel agents to help him book the tickets for hotels, hostels and airlines. But most of the planning he did it by himself.
First stop for them today in the Netherlands is Keukenhof. The famous Garden of Europe in Lisse, Netherlands. They travelled there by bus and spent a whole day there. The garden is the world's largest flower garden and they picked the best time to visit in Spring. I sure hope my mom brings a very comfy pair of shoes to walk around. When I called them, they were waiting to get on a bus after they just packed up from their hostel to head excursion.
After Keukenhof, they head to Belgium. Their stops there will be Brussle and Brugge. Brugge is the World Heritage Site with a medieval historic settlement.. I wonder if any of the Medieval festivals here in the states can hold a candle to the real thing. I asked Mr. Rojo if he would like to go to a Medieval festival if one were to swing by our area and he just laughed at me. Though he laughs, I'm sure secretly he would like to go. If just to laugh at all the thee's and thou's. Sorry. I digress... My brother is on a neat journey. Gosh.. I can't wait to see his pictures!
