EP2: 'I’ve Become the Archie Bunker of the Home'

Heee... I have to say that I'm just relieved that we all have found it! It is only Monday and I was tired of all those Marinas already! And GE and I have a love-hate relationship so nice to be done with that part!
Now...what we REALLY need from our guys are some time shots! :please:
Because we need to get a handle on who might be going out next.
And we have no idea WHAT the two detours in Amsterdam are, right? We sort of know where--but not what? So we need to ponder on that too!
And what else do we still need to know?
Did y'all see that they camped at the last pitstop? Wonder where they might have stayed this time?

That could just be the train from Schipol to Central Station--although I am still holding out for the Thalys to Paris next week.
But there are bunches of cute places to go just a quick ride away.
And oh yes! Slowhatch's cute cargo bike should be this week too! :happy:

:angel: Just throwing this out there as another piece of information. The girls appear to be running past a train which may be "Sprinter" livery (railway stock). Here's a blurb on the "sprinter" livery:
The Sprinter (SGM, Stads Gewestelijk Materieel) is a two or three car electric, used on small distances. They are named Sprinter because they're able to accelerate and brake quite fast, making them very suitable for 'stoptrein' services. They were also specifically designed for urban environments where they run commuter services. As a result, they are most commonly found in the Randstad area. The initial idea was that the Sprinter would provide somewhat of a subway/metro service but this plan failed as the cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam continued to construct their own rapid transit systems. Nevertheless, in the densely populated Randstad, the Sprinters remain popular. Two car versions have been revised and are now named Citypendel. Three car versions can be seen in two versions: the old yellow version, and the refurbished ones in white/yellow/dark blue livery ("Vlaflip").

Good job on the Choo-Choo's Boingo!
So they use local transport to get around there--always fun!
