The HorsesDaily Impromptu Aachen Tour

HorsesDaily's Home Base in the Netherlands

"When people come to Aachen, in search for a hotel, they have it stuck in their heads they need to stay somewhere in Germany." explained Phelps. "Aachen is right on the border of the Netherlands, where we have found a hotel which not only has excellent prices (under $100 € per day), large rooms, and a pool and spa, but also is in a beautiful location in the country where the only sounds outside your balcony door are of birds and nature." Just a 12 mile drive to the show grounds, it take less time to get to there , than for the judges who are driven in from the city. Another perk is that it is much easier to get on-line using the Dutch system, than in Germany which often requires an ISDN modem. "I have never had much success getting on line with ease in Germany," said Phelps, but in the Netherlands it's easy." Most of the Dutch able to speak fluent English, and there are more English speaking channels on television, providing a welcome break from CNN and infomercials.

"We have something very special in mind in working with this hotel." divulged Phelps. We are currently working with the owner developing a package for future trips to this region, which will also be the location of the 2006 World Equestrian Games."
