Hoorn is interesting as well - on the same rail route as Enkhuizen.

and the steam train through the bulb fields from Hoorn To Medemblik

Bulb fields? November?

the fields don't disappear when the flowers are finished, except in ZH
where they build housing estates on them

Just to knock them down next year when the flowers reappear? What a
waste!

town, etc?

Thanks

For a trip out of town visit Haarlem. It's an easy 18 minute train ride
from Amsterdam Centraal station.

Weatherwise, expect anything between -5C/snow and 15C/sunshine. It might
rain heavily as well.

Yes indeed. I was there in November a few years ago and there was
ankle-deep slush in Leidseplein.

Welcome back Jack. Haven't seen you for quite a while.

Hi,

I've done amsterdam in november and december and had a great time.

if the weather is bad there's LOTS of inside stuff to do...

the Rijksmusuem is good for a day...

I'd combine the Van Gogh and Stedilijk(sp?) into a modern art day.

and there are tons of other indoor museum type stops... the resistance
museum is neat (get the english handout at the desk), the city museum is
neat too, the heineken tour is fun... there's coffee shops (folks in
their 50s can definitely enjoy coffee shops ;-}), brown cafes, jazz, the
red light district (just to look around, it's kinda far out)...

and if you are into diamonds... well you can take the train down to
antwerp and visit the diamond district (hey jack is the centraal station
in antwerp fixed yet?)

rent a bike at centraal station and toss in a visit to boom chicago
http://www.boomchicago.nl/ and you'll have a blast.
