After breakfast, we will be saying good-by to our AFS daughter and husband, meeting our VBT rep in the hotel lobby, and transferring to the Paris Gare du Nord train station, where we will board a train for a 3-hour ride to Amsterdam.  En route, we will pass through the lovely countryside of northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

In Amsterdam, we will be transported to our Hotel Vondel, and the day is ours to tour Amsterdam and meet our fellow travelers who will be arriving throughout the day.  The link is:  http://hotelvondel.amsterdamhotels.it/

There will be an orientation meeting for a welcome meeting.  In addition to this day in Amsterdam, we will return at the close of our bike/barge trip and have another full day as well as one additional day for the Peters & us.
