Shortcut Directions from Hotel to Yacht Club
For those of you that would like to see where we are staying in relation to the YC as well as a map of the “short cut” you have been hearing about click on the following link to zoom in and print out any maps or directions you might like.
CLICK HERE FOR LINK TO MAP
Hotel is noted as “A”
The Train Station is noted as “B” ( you will turn left at the light and go under it)
Yacht Club is noted as “C”
It is a nice drive (takes about 15-18 min) once you leave Leiden and you miss all of the traffic that backs up on the bigger highways.
Don’t be intimidated by the map once you have driven it once it is easy as pie.
