Drive drive drive. We’re not stopping for sights, just trying to get to Amsterdam. The EU government has mandated we take a 45 minute rest stop. All I know is we just entered the Netherlands.
The stop has three stores. La Place, where I got a sandwich (laced with cilantro); a kiosk where souvenirs can be had; and a McDonald’s. A bus pulled up, filled with teenagers. Everyone went straight into the McDonald’s. Our tour guide recommended against that. “You can go to McDonald’s anywhere in the world. Try something local.”
