Strippen Kaart

From Michelle, in the Slagroom...

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a nekkid card game?

No!

Strippen Kaart is...

A ticket for the Dutch public transport system!

How it works:

1. Buy card (available in stations or most supermarkets) with 15 little strips on it.

2. Climb aboard either tram, bus or metro. Whatever takes your fancy!

3. Puch strip card in machine, using appropriate number of strips (depends on how many zones you are crossing--city center area is 2 strips).

And voila!

Machine punches time on strip card and it's good to travel on any mode of public transport for 1 hour from that time.

And one great thing about it--you can use it in any Dutch city.

I love the Dutch!

Michelle, off to the UK for the weekend--see you Monday!
