Amsterdam and ‘s-Hertogenbosch

On this trip, I left for Amsterdam on May 24 for work and returned June 2. I had the weekend of May 28 and 29 off; this time my friends suggested ‘s-Hertogenbosch (or just Den Bosch, pronounced “den bos”), so I took the train there on Saturday; the only train is an intercity but it […]
