I fly in and out of Amsterdam, and will have several days at the end of my trip to explore Amsterdam. The tours of OIDFA will quite thoroughly explore northern Netherlands with lace each day. When I arrive, I'll go south to Rotterdam and Brussels, wend my way to Bayeux, France, then across France to Paris and maybe Reims on my way to Heidelberg and to cruise the Rhine River. Finally I go north through Germany and west to Grongingen.
I will see lots of lace in Netherlands and some lace in Begium and in Bayeux. In France I'll be visiting Cathedrals since I can't find much lace. There's a textile museum in Heidelberg that might have some lace. I had planned to make a quick trip via tunnel train from Brussels to London, and then tunnel train back to Paris. It would be a bit expensive for just a couple days because the tunnel train is not part of the rail pass that I have, but V&A's lace collection is worth visiting (when open). Since I spent some time in London on my last trip, just being tourist is not worth the extra travel costs (even though it would be fun to see London again). I can buy a lot of thread/bobbins/etc at OIDFA for that $300. Even a nice pillow. So I'm exploring alternatives for those couple days alloted to London.

Do you have Amsterdam in your mind, there are also some places with lace.m - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
