Advantages: transport, language ease Disadvantages: the rain
Utrecht was the first city I visited as a lone traveller from England. I was worried about many things; getting the transfers from the airport, finding the hotel and above all I spoke not a scrap of Dutch.
Stepping off the plane at Schipol - the airport in Amsterdam- I was greeted by easy to follow signs pointing me where I needed to be, to collect my luggage, then booths to buy train tickets, which I'd managed in under 2 minutes, and was quickly off on my way to get the train to Utrecht.

Advantages: Big shopping centre, Great city centre Disadvantages: none
Utrecht is situated in the centre of the Netherlands. If you want to visit Utrecht, you best travel there by train. From the trein you walk directy in one of the largest shopping centres of the Netherlands : ?Hoog Catharijne?.
You will find many many shops there from various genres. Ofcourse many clothing shops, but also electronics, music, food etc. If you leave the shopping centre you will enter the city centre. This is one of the most pleasant centres of Holland. The shops are situated around canals. The centre is quite old. One of the most visited building is the ?Dom?, about 100 m. high. This city is certainly worth a visit. ...
Advantages: stylish design and easy to use. Disadvantages: the chrome top darkens after a while.
In October 2009 I bought a Tefal Two Slot Avanti Toaster, which cost £23.95 from the Amazon website.
General information
Tefal is a world wide brand originally from France. It is a leader in non-stick cookware, pressure cookers, electrical cooking appliances, food and beverage preparation, irons and scales.
The toaster I ordered from Amazon is, to give it its full name, a Tefal TT704115 Avanti Toaster, 2 Slice, Chrome and Black. Compared to old toasters (including my broken one) it is rather stylish and modern. The angled top is chrome and the case is black plastic. It looks the same as the picture you can see on ciao website.
The package is a small rectangular box and easy to open. It contains a toaster and a consumer booklet. The projecting controls of the toaster were also well wrapped.
