EURAIL Pass | Leiden NETHERLANDS | Day 9

First day in the Netherlands. It's got to go better than the last day in the Netherlands. Desiree, our wonderful friend, is taking us to uh find a couple replacement things. We're not going to get much, but just enough to survive for the next couple months. >> Like the Netherlands. Lovely though. >> Where do we go? Where do we go from here? >> Katie heading off to see your first Dutch grocery store. You can get these little thingies and scan all your own groceries and not have to worry about going to the checkout. Pringles has passport flavors. Guess where these ones are from. Got to stop cuz the bridge is going up. There's a lot of bridges here. Definitely. >> The weather's a little wonky today. Supposed to be better tomorrow. Desire is going to take us on a super tour of Leiden tomorrow. We're going to do Amsterdam in a couple days. Why am I telling you what we're going to do? I don't know. Anyways, peace. Exploring Leiden, Netherlands with our wonderful friend Desiree, who's showing us all around the town today. We got our stuff sorted. We're just traveling lighter from now on. It was sunny. Hey, I swear to God it was sunny just like 20 minutes ago. >> You snooze, you lose. Gramps. >> And the buses are tap on, tap off, so you didn't have to get a card. Just tap our phones on without the bank. >> And don't forget to check out >> top tips. Don't forget to tap out when you leave. >> And if there was any doubt, we were in the Netherlands. There you go. [Music] >> Hi there. Welcome to Leon. I'm showing Chris and Katie around in this pretty pretty little town. >> We have the best tour guide. We do. >> We met her on the Great Wall of China like what six years ago, >> I think. So, 2018, >> whenever that was. >> We were the only two We were the only two groups way the heck down away from everybody else, >> man. Every place we go just gets more adorable. The Netherlands is gorgeous. Katie, you got big wooden sandals. Wait, big wooden clogs. What are those? But there's cheese over here. You girls have fun. I'll just be here with the cheese. Just me and the cheese. The Netherlands is beautiful. How did it take us so long to get here? [Music] [Music] Got a little shopping done. Fiddled out. Finished out the fiddled. Finished off the wardrobe. Now we're checking out the old town. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Leen, Netherlands is definitely getting our vote for one of the most charming towns we've been to. [Music] Since we got here to the Netherlands, I realized how much I rely on Katie's hair color to find her in a crowd. Cuz normally in the even on the Camino and up there, there weren't a lot of blondes. That is not an effective way. here. I've lost her like three times already cuz there's just blondes everywhere. So, I have to develop a new system. >> Have you seen a woman? We're going to Dez's favorite restaurant, Fondu. So, this is the ultimate local recommendation. Of course, the first course is the coffee. >> Hey, cookies. >> Oh, that's good coffee. >> Those Dutch butter cookies are way better in the Netherlands. >> Yeah, those are really good. >> All right. How's your cappuccino there, little girl? >> It is fantastic. >> Coffee milk is condensed milk. That's awesome. >> So, a note about the condensed milk in the Netherlands. Don't be fooled. That is not like the condensed milk everywhere else. That stuff is terrible. Dez warned us. We didn't listen. Always listen to your local guide. >> We've got our Dutch platter. M. >> Those are good. >> Dez said this is like the most Dutch thing we can get. It's called a bitter ball. >> They're fantastic. It reminds me of mashed potatoes, but not really. >> But it's meat based, right? >> Meat based. >> Yeah. >> Bye. >> Dez gets thumbs up. That's us for the rest of the day. We'll catch you uh from Amsterdam tomorrow. Oh, no. We got some of those tomorrow. Her daughter is going to swim in the canals. So, of course, we're going to go, >> I guess, applaud, >> make fun of, cheer, you know, whatever. But >> heading back to the house for the day. Look at all those bikes. [Music] >> We'll see you tomorrow morning, Skully. Bright and early. [Music] >> We are not taking part in this, but they have the local canal swim every year for charity. All these folks are swimming in the canals. [Music] Desire's middle daughter is one of these that's swimming. It's 800 meters. It's cold. >> She said she's not even wearing a swim cap. >> We're all just standing here watching. This one's getting in the cold water. >> Why are you doing this? >> Because it's for charity and I like it. >> What's your charity? Um, for people who are paralyzed. [Music] >> Excellent charity. You're very brave. You're very hungry. You're very awesome. And you love Oregon. >> Yeah. >> Stella, what's the deal? >> Well, the guy is telling them that they need to jump carefully in the water because it's very dangerous to die because there are bikes and other stuff inside of the kennel. >> So, it's like an obstacle course. >> Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. Fight and [Music] >> there she is. Never underestimate the value of a good pool noodle in an emergency situation. Apparently the fastest finishers finish in like 8 minutes. Other people take about 30. I'm really glad it's them and not us. It looks like a lot of fun. Whole lot more fun out here on the shore. [Music] Woo! Goes! [Music] >> You got to take time to appreciate how gorgeous this little city is. Oh no, she drank the water. >> Don't drink fountain water. So if she turns into a creature, that's why it's >> this has been a blast. We are just going to go out and enjoy the festival here. Probably catch up with you tomorrow from Amsterdam. >> But wait, there's more. >> What are we doing now? >> Uh but looking at is her hockey game, field hockey obviously. >> And to be clear, this is the same day that she swam in the canal. >> Definitely. >> There she is playing goalie. We're the orange team. The yellow team are evil. They're from the other town. They're invaders. Of special note, the team we're rooting for is the team in orange and black since Oregon plays Oregon State today. It's a little difficult for me, but we'll go ahead and root for him in this game and then later tonight flip. Congratulations to the team wearing black and orange, but that's the last time we'll be celebrating black and orange for the day. So, great job. I said we were done for the day. That's not entirely true. We're going to the hospital so we can try and replace Katie's medication. >> They stole it from us. >> She doesn't take it. She just kind of stops waking up. That's not good. >> And I hope whoever stole that pen enjoys it in hell. >> I was able to get my medication. It was It's such a relief to be able to just walk in. It was €17 for 3 months worth of medication. >> Less than 20 bucks. That is amazing. They were so nice. This place is really cool. >> Yet another reason to love the Netherlands. >> Yep. >> We are out at a lovely local event in Zotoa. Having a blast. We just wanted to let everybody know it is really touching how many people reach out to us publicly and privately. We're good to go. We're fine. All we lost was our stuff. Uh we're safe. We're fine. We We're actually happy to be traveling lighter. So, uh we don't have uh we don't have as much stuff to wear when we watch Ducks games, but we're doing fantastic. Thank you all so much. Really touching >> and uh let us know how much we were loved. I mean, we already knew, but now we know even more. M >> keep drinking this coffee. >> Leave the thumbs up and subscribe. Oh, >> no. That was good. >> That was good. That was good.
