Amsterdam

We got the tram to the train station and got our first ever high speed train to the Netherlands today. It only took 2 hours @ 300km/hr to get there. 😁 I loved Amsterdam. It was how I’d pictured it. All the lovely canals, wide ones and narrower ones. The tall row houses lining the canals are so bent and leaning either to the side or leaning forward. Normally this would mess with my OCD, but I found them cute and it added to the character of the place. We had the “hot chips”, definitely not as good as home (certainly not worth lining up for), but now we can say we did it. 🙄 Walked past the Anne Frank Haus then took a canal cruise and learnt about the area and the houses along the canals and also the history of the houseboats. We got the high speed train back home, then had dinner at 9.30pm. One last lap of Grand Place at night before calling it a day.Read more
