Netherlands, Amsterdam

Our last day in Amsterdam. We're off early tomorrow morning to northern France and our fellow travels fly home. We've had pretty good weather so far but our umbrellas got a work out today. It started raining early and pretty much didn't stop until late afternoon. We spent the day doing indoor things......two museums and brewery. The first museum, "Moco" had a Banksy and Dali exhibitions on. The Banksy, really interesting and comprehensive, all of the favourites and a few of the lesser known. Dali doesn't really appeal to me, never has so I didn't pay too much attention. Roge enjoyed it though. Through the pouring rain to the Stedelijk Museum for two floors of modern Dutch art. Loved it. Of course who can visit Amsterdam without having a Heineken experience? Not us apparently. A brewery tour, which started out well to keep us out of the rain. The first part of the tour which show cased the history of the brewery and the brewing process was quite interesting but then it just descended into a commercially interactive experience complete with ride and an opportunity to participate in Dutch karaoke. Who would have thought. The Heineken experience finished in a roof top bar....Been a long time since I've been in a venue where my shoes stuck to the floor. An afternoon spent wandering, with a little bit of souvenir shopping. Looking forward to France.Read more
