Travelling to the Netherlands

Well, I am going to write this from a European distance.

By Plane:
There are flights frequently leaving to and from Amsterdam Airport (Schipol) or to Eindhoven. Schipol is the main airport of Holland - there are usually nationall aircrafts flying here. The Dutch aircraft is KLM and for a reasonable price. As for the luggage, it can weigh up to 23 kg.
Usually the charter flights fly to Eindhoven such us Wizzair or Ryanair. And of course most country's own aircrafts have planes flying to Holland.
The journey can take from 1 hour up to 3 but then you come from really far. the average travel time is 2 hours to Holland from Europe.

By Bus:
It is an ever cheaper way, though it takes much longer but you are allowed to take much more stuff with you than on the plane. Busses usually stop at the bigger European cities.

By car:
if you don't travel alone then it is the cheapest way if you don't mind driving a lot :D Austria can be reached withing 10 hours, Hungary 15 hours. But it also depends on the weather and the traffic of course but a huge adventage is that you can take as much stuff as much fits in the car.

Qeen's Day

Well, this is a national day when the Dutch do know how to celebrate. Held on the 30th of April, the birthday of the Queen. Though it's funny because her birthday is not on this day officially. All in all, this day is all about celebrating. It usually starts early in the morning and lasts until the next day. There are a lot of venues all over the country where there are stages set, so live music, and everyone is just drinking, dancing, freaking out :D and everything is Orange!!! Btw, maybe you all know it already, but just a bit of history lesson why the orange is the colour of the Dutch. It is all because of William of Orange :))

But so here is a video of where I have been to this year (I am somewhere there in the crowd, who can find me, wins something :D)
