Amsterdam cited in 'Using Astrology to Plan Travel this Holiday Season'

fshok.com Still vibrant and popular today, the five-thousand-year-old art of astrology can identify, say, business and romantic opportunities or challenges. And those celestial bodies slinking about the stars can also help pinpoint optimal times and places for travel.

It can tell you, for example, about places likely to be harmonious or challenging…

Amsterdam is of course celebrated for its canals, but as a regular reader of Travel+Leisure I was intrigued to learn of a storybook village called Giethoorn that makes a great day trip from A'damm and is also known for its adorable little canals. Some might argue it's just this side of twee, but no matter - it's irresistible! https://www.travelandleisure.com/giethoorn-venice-of-the-netherland...

This Storybook Village Is Called the 'Venice of the Netherlands' — and It's the Perfect Day Trip Fr…

Here's how to plan the perfect trip to the small town of Giethoorn in the Netherlands, including where to stay, what to do, and where to eat.

Radio says that the court in Holland has backed up the new law to prevent tourists from buying grass in The Netherlands. U think this will backfire on Holland?

No more marijuana in Holland!? "Foreign visitors will be banned from cannabis-selling coffee shops in southern Netherlands from January 1 to combat anti-social behaviour among tourists," reports the Daily Mail (UK).

"The Dutch justice ministry announced the ban after a consultation period and despite opposition from some MPs who branded the move 'tourism suicide'."

How much will this change tourism -- especially in Amsterdam?

Netherlands gov't. has announced that it's banning the sale of grass and hash to tourists. The city gov't. of Amsterdam is not nuts about this decision. I've never gone to one of these shops (i.e. I've never smoked legally); am I missing something good?
