Get High in the Netherlands


What were you thinking?

Just outside of Amsterdam, at a dock in Harlingen, a huge crane has been converted to a luxury hotel for two. One guest writes of his experience:

"
I stayed here in December 2006 and was amazed by this property. you don't get much more unusual than a room in a dockside crane. The accommodation was funky, and as good, if not better than many designer hotels. Mind you, the flat screen plasma wasn't really necessary - who needs to watch videos when you're able to spin the crane around in your pyjamas at 1am?"

You get to control the crane? How awesome is that!
