A Little Tram Trouble

Hello travelers!
Friday, May 20th

Loren:  We woke up and had breakfast at the Stayokay Hostel. Very nice buffet of cheeses, breads, meats, coffee, and fruit. The dining area is accessible by elevator to the second floor. The dining area is a bit of a squeeze by American standards, but still quite accessible. In fact the Dutch are very proud(justifiably so!)of providing access to the handicapped population. After breakfast, we made our way to the Flea Market in the Waterlooplein. We boarded the Tram to Alexanderplein with the help of the conductor and his ramp. We were supposed to change trams there and continue on to the flea market.

This happy fellow was reluctant to help us out.
Luckily the tram operator made a decision to allow us on!

Unfortunately, we then hit an obstacle with the next two tram conductors. The conductor on the first tram refused to allow Dina to board with the scooter. We waited for the second tram, but that conductor also said no scooters allowed! Since it was a short walk and a beautiful day, we decided to hoof it. we bought some little ceramic shoes at the market and then went around the corner to the Rembrandt House
