Chug,
I remember being GE on one of those trips. The night stop was a serious wake up to the reverence that the Dutch people held the British serviceman in. The only time I went to any town, this was Deelen, and never had to buy a beer all night. The best part was all the locals were very welcoming, fluent in English, as usual we were not, and knew the history. Despite the free drinks, a sobering insight into our own countries modern day attitudes at times.
