Days 39 - 42: Amsterdam. Final Posting

We arrived in Amsterdam on Wed and took the train from the airport to the central train station. From there we walked to our Airbnb about 4km away.  Lots and lots of bike and lots and lots of canals. Went to dinner at a local neighborhood restaurant.

Big feet.

Bikes and canals

Where did I leave my bike?

Public toilet. Men #1 only.

Church.

Got up Thurs and met up with a walking tour downtown.  Great tour of history, culture, etc.  In the afternoon went to the Van Gogh museum. In the evening strolled around the red light district. Thank goodness for the red lights. They really bring attention to what you are supposed to be looking at.

We tried to get tickets to the Anne Frank house but they are sold out the whole time we are here. We did walk past it numerous times on our comings and goings.

Friday afternoon we went on a bus tour of a windmill village and clog making shop. When we got back we took a canal cruise.

More canal.

For the record - We did not engage in any drug activity here, unless you count inhaling second hand smoke. That is just about impossible to avoid.

Tomorrow we will be heading for the airport to finally come home. We are looking forward to that, and to seeing everyone again, and to having another change of clothes.

This is our last posting on the Camino blog. We had a wonderful time. We hope you enjoyed reading about our adventures.
