    Rotterdam was a balmy -1° air temperature as we shivered our way through to the station as the sun came up. Amsterdam wasn't much warmer but the sun was out in a bright blue sky.

In trying to find a pub, I clearly conducted the same Google search as when we were here last time as we ended up in the same bar on the western canals! Of all the stops, Amsterdam has been the least clean, and the smell of cannabis hangs frequently in the air. However the canals are pretty and the beer is good!Læs mere
