      I like your song Broken Man. As far as I can recall, the intro to this video is the 2nd time that Gabe has used your song with the first time being a few months ago in Greece. I also like your song Take Over Me.

      @@heidigretel Yes, exactly, I used it in a video about the island of Samos, Greece. Also he's sent me some more of his songs, so perhaps they will be in future videos. Good stuff.

    It is very impressive how deeply you have mastered the art of photography, and how experienced you have become in showing street scenes in a way that puts the RUclips audience in the center of things. Your vlogs are a delight.

    I am so thrilled to run across this video. My great grandfather is the Rev. John Robinson who is memorialized on the many plaques you showed on Pieterskerk (St. Peter's Church) where he is buried. He is considered to be the Pastor to the Pilgrims. He is memorialized in a painting that hangs in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington. The painting depicts him and the Pilgrims on the ship ready to depart for America in 1620. Unfortunately he died in Holland in1625 and never lived to see America but his widow and son came in 1629. I visited Leiden and his grave inside the church. Again Thanks. I loved the city where he was also a University Professor. I also found local people who clearly remember the story of him.

    Leiden is a lovely place to stay and a smaller, quieter alternative to Amsterdam. Lots to see and do and the fruit and veg stalls in the market on a Saturday are amazing!

      In the summer more people are eating and drinking outside but Leiden attracts very few visitors. It is never very busy. In July the sun sets at approximately 22:00, that gives a very different vibe.

    Dear Gabriel, thank you for your videos from the Netherlands (Amsterdam and Leiden).. They are very beautiful. I lived and worked in the Netherlands for 8 1/2 years in Hilversum and Amsterdam. I like the dutch
    people very much, they are different to the germans, they have another livestyle, open and free.
    I am happy, that my son is studying there - in Maastricht.
    Next time when you go to NL visit Maastricht, which is a nice small city in Limburg with a lot of international
    students and a beautiful surrroundings. Brussels and Antwerp are not far away. Aachen in Germany are close as well.
    Happy Christmas, a happy NEW YEAR with exciting tours next years, love Ulrike Grefe

    Very nice Christmas spirit there in the Netherlands. But if you want Christmas in a very traditional way (with a lot of German traditional Christmas stuff, like pyramids, cribs, nutckrackers, angels, gingerbread, punch etc.), I recommend visiting Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt and German Christmas Museum (along with Christmas village in the Käthe Wohlfahrt Christmas shop) in amazing medieval Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the most beautiful town on the German Romantic Road. These locations are not far away from the Netherlands. French Alsace (historically more German felt area) is also very beautiful in Christmas time, especially in fairytale towns like Colmar, Riquewihr and Eguisheim, although the biggest Christmas market there is this year's tragic Christkindelsmärik in Strasbourg which is proclaimed as the capital of Christmas. Some specialists for Christmas markets also recommend Stuttgart Christmas market, along with Esslingen am Neckar.
