Ooh, ooh, can I play?
On the couple of times I travelled from England to the Netherlands, I saw
England, France, Belgium and the Netherlands in one day. Now, I'll admit
that I did not see much more than the interior of a train station in the
middle two countries, but I visited them, sure enough.
Indeed, if I'd stayed on the rail system, I could probably have seen
Germany and Denmark, too, except my hotel was in Amsterdam, and that's
where I kinda felt like stopping.
