definately a pita, especially if the van rental agency screws up and you end up with a van 1/3rd the size you ordered... had to drive double, by the time i got back to return the van, and drop it off in center of rotterdam, i was so tired i was getting paranoid on the metro back to my old appartement...was really getting the jitters, seeing myself being mugged or robbed or something on my very last day in Rotten-Dam, then a nights sleep in an empty appartement, very rough and wake up to clean out the place... those 3 days were heavy duty...as i crossed the border in the 44, i did a most excellent SouthPark, Erik Cartman impression "Screw you guys, i'm going home ! "
that first morning waking up in the new place was instant happy, sat on my terras, fresh cup of coffee, no noise pollution, smog, and now i can just cycle to see anybody in the family, no more 240 clicks to see them...fresh bakery just 300 meters away, definately worth it in the end.
