Leaves will faal on the rails and that makes them slippery... <BR/><BR/>Uumm its not so easy, but NEVER a reason for Not to make a tram outside . So I hope that Paris will continue this idea!!!! Its very nice to travel by tram, so came and look at the tams in Amsterdam!<BR/><BR/>JoAnn :)Jo's-D-Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620409244855380131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2866904825631909842.post-24247666696796935432007-09-12T03:17:00.000+02:002007-09-12T03:17:00.000+02:00Maybe I went in the very beginning of the tram, so...Maybe I went in the very beginning of the tram, so there weren't enough trains and so on.

Here in Amsterdam ( I livenearby Amsterdam) thats very important, they even made stairs to wlak over the tramrails on some places because they drive SO FAST! And do you know that these trams are very very HEAVY???<BR/><BR/> :) JOANN <BR/>Thanks for visiting my blog a couple of times, I like your comments.Jo's-D-Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620409244855380131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2866904825631909842.post-6554924529953588642007-09-11T21:25:00.000+02:002007-09-11T21:25:00.000+02:00I'm sure you'll like the "petite ceinture" I 've a...I'm sure you'll like the "petite ceinture" I 've always wanted to go walking following it but I never had a moment to do it !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2866904825631909842.post-50252828978056283302007-09-11T21:12:00.000+02:002007-09-11T21:12:00.000+02:00I forgot to say that the map is great, too!
