It's about time I blogged some more about our holiday last year, before I totally forget what we did and saw!
After our day out in Amersfoort, it was back to Amsterdam for another look around. Dennis met us and snapped us in front of the iconic I Amsterdam sign. This is a promotional sign on the Museumplein and there are always heaps of tourists there having pictures taken.
We enjoyed a delicious breakfast of Dutch pancakes before heading off for a walk to get rid of all those calories! We walked up this street towards town where we were going to meet Thea and Theo.
Canals everywhere but our local town council won't allow a bike track along an irrigation drain because it's too dangerous!
It seemed most of the locals use bikes to get around, but we saw a few of these tiny cars - Theo thought they were for elderly people. We couldn't get over how small they were!
Dennis, Kevin and Theo enjoying a drink (the first of many that day!)
The Red Light District at night....it was really beautiful with all the lights reflecting on the water.
A condomery!
Our ship awaiting us...our last day in Amsterdam was quite overcast.
We visited plenty of cafes but no coffee shops......
Cute higgledy-piggledy houses!

Amsterdam looks lovely and charming. I'd like to visit it someday too. Glad you enjoyed the cafes, LOL!
P.S. My Rare One calls teeny-tiny cars like those "upholstered rollerskates."
What a great trip. Amsterdam looks very charming and neat as a pin. The buildings are adorable! When I first saw that sign 'I am Canadian' sprung to mind - it's Canada Day weekend here and that was a promotional line used here by a beer company for years. Based on that pic, the Red Light District almost looks very high end, lol! My daughter spent a week there two years ago and was impressed with how they bicycle and walk so much more than here.
LOL Debra, I like the "upholstered rollerskates" :) I hope you get to visit there, it's really a great place.
We were also impressed with how many ride and walk around the city Jane (once we got used to all the bikes flying past that is!)
My DH really enjoyed the Red Light District with all the girls looking at him, then he realised maybe they were actually looking at Dennis ;)
