Hi Steven and Kelly,
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience here in the Netherlands. I’m glad you enjoyed exploring Amsterdam and Haarlem. We hope to see you again in the future.
With warm regards,
Nadine & Mieke
Nadine was very helpful and really kind, but we were not glad she booked us in Ghent for 3 nights; we would rather have been in Burges. Perhaps KimKim does not have an affiliated hotel or inn there? Our Ghent hotel was quite nice, but the surrounding neighborhood wasn't and Burges has so much more to see and do than Ghent. The altarpiece was spectacular, but that could have been a day trip from Burges.
