Day 2. - travel to Nijmegen

After a fantastic nights sleep we went for an early morning walk in the suburbs looking for good coffee. Great success. 
Then we spent some time sorting our phones out. We bought Sims yesterday and they weren't working properly. Everything is in Dutch so it was all Dutch to me. Eventually we got both of them registered via internet and working well. We should be able to use them now for the whole trip. 
We decided to taxi to the train station as 2 trams during peak hour would have been a bit much for old people. We managed to buy a train ticket for Nijmegen and all went well. The 1-1/2 hour trip through the Dutch countryside was beautiful. When we got off the train we immediately bumped into Andy Hawks. He was on the same train. 
After check in we walked into town for the afternoon. Nijmegen is the oldest town in Holland. It is 2000 years old. We went to the cathedral. It was magnificent. The town is a treasure. Much more relaxed than Amsterdam. Today we walked 16km. 
Tomorrow we go and unpack Gertrude. 
This was the gelato guy following the Pokemon go kids around. Always a new marketing idea somewhere. 
Where is repunzel?
