Dear All, I have this weekend (7th and 8th) of Aug to check out Holland, could you please help me plan my itenary for two days (saturday and sunday) so that I can se a few good places in Holland, I am currently staying in Den Bosch near the train station. As I am new to the place and the country any pointers on how to reach the place where you suggest me to go (like bus number, tram number, or train details - I know ns.nl) would be appreciated. Regards Prasad
What are your preferences: city or country exploration? One tip fot just outside the Netherlands: Take the train to Antwerp; there's a great event that weekend: http://www.bollekesfeest.be/ If you want to explore cities: just travel by train to Maastricht; Utrecht, The Hague / Delft / Scheveningen; Rotterdam or Amsterdam. If you are a country lover: Go to the beach, Hoge Veluwe or somewhere nearer in the Province of Noord Brabant (natuurmonumenten.nl/province... PJ

On Sunday it´s the same schedule, with a departure opportunity each hour (so you can shift the schedule I gave by hour). The journey back is just in the reverse order. It starts with 15:44 take bus #70 at the Hylkemaweg bus stop (18:21 back at Den Bosch). Also this schedule can be shifted by hour. PJ
