Day 2 Amsterdam

Was nice to finally get some sleep! Still not enough but after another one of these great European hotel breakfasts , we are beginning to feel human again! Scrambled eggs, tasty little sausages, good cheeses, nice greens for a nice side salad. Humongous pear to finish it off. Some good plain yogurt with ginger/coconut granola sprinkled on top, multiple coffees.

Off for a bus city tour this morning at 9 and then we'll be jumping on a boat to explore the canals, followed by a food tour. That should finish us off.! Our tour director Bart is a former native of Amsterdam so that will be nice. He led tours for Europeans throughout the US for some 10 years , which explains why when we mentioned Winston- Salem, he said - ah tobacco - Reynolds family. That was a bit shocking to hear.

Saw this portable wifi machine in the lobby of the hotel today. Kind of handy if you don't have a plan. https://www.hubbywifi.comRead more
