er, make that Where to go
My wife and I are heading to Europe at the end of this month. We're flying into Dusseldorf (BIL lives nearby) and are quite flexible in our schedule. At this point we'll probably head to Amsterdam for a day or so to visit with the BIL's girlfriend. Then we'll probably spend two days in Belgium on our way back. We'd prefer to stop in smallish towns and skip the big ones. Travel will probably all be via trains and busses. So, any recomendations? I'm tempted by the Hop growing regions in the West but I'm not sure I want to go that far West. My MIL has cousins near Charleroi we might try and visit.
Once back to the Dusseldorf area, we'll make a day trip to Cologne. I know Alts fairly well now from earlier visits, but we've never been to Cologne (the BIL has). I'd like to stop at Früh as that is supposedly where the White Labs Koslch yeast comes from so I'd like to see how theirs compares to my version. Any other votes for Cologne stops?
