Netherlands:
The final leg of our roadtrip was to the Netherlands, where we stayed 3 days with friends in Leiden (about 25 minutes southwest of Amsterdam). The funniest roadsigns were seen while driving thru Belgium: on one sign, the words "cruise control" are crossed out & on the other sign, a picture of a car in flames... definitely turned off the cruise control thru Belgium:

The adorable young man on the right is destined to be a heartbreaker.
