- Oranjehotel is near Den Haag. This was the Nazi prison for hundred's of captured Dutch Resistance fighters. Many were led from there to their deaths in the Waalsdorpervlakte dunes. We visit the museum with the unchanged cells and the memorial to those executed in the dunes. We also check out the remains of German bunkers in the Clingendael country estate which are a few hundred metres from what was the grand home of Arthur Seyss-Urquart, the Reichskommissar in the Netherlands. After a 200km drive North, we walk around the Westerbork Transit camp where 107,000 Jews were deported to the death camps in the east.

We are Sarah and Andy. Welcome to our travel channel. We met late in life and so are making sure that we maximise on every hour of the present and future. We used to live to work, but now we work to live. We both have full time jobs so we fit our love for travel and adventures around our daily lives of sitting behind a computer (Andy) and teaching music and organising music events (Sarah). We live in the stunning Lake District of England, but have a love affair with warmer countries.
There are lots of channels of young globe-trotters and millionaire UA-camrs. We are neither young or rich, so if you want to see child-free travel by not-so-young adventurers, visiting beautiful places on real-world budgets, then this is the place for you.
Lovely video, albeit sad especially in these times. It was especially sweet seeing the elderly couple holding hands. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your lovely comment. So glad you watched and enjoyed it. The elderly couple are Andy's father and his wife. It was very special for us to make this part of the trip with them.
