Amsterdam!

We had a nice flight on a Dash 8 from Southampton to Amsterdam with a small airline called Flybe.

The Amsterdam airport was very effecient and we were on our way out the door  within the hour. We took a train to Amsterdam Centraal Station  then caught the tram to our B+B. Extremely easy to get to.

We are located in the old part of town so all the great sites are within 30  minutes walking distance. We were outside Anne Franks house but decided to forgo the long lineups as we saw the place in 1980 and we saw more of the house than people are allowed to see now.

After a couple of hours walking along the canals we took a canal cruise.

Tonight we picked up some wine and cheese and are enjoying it  in our room.At the present time we are the only ones here. Our normal  hosts are on holidays so they have friends of theirs looking after the place. They are wonderful to talk to.

Another awesome day!!!

  1. Wow! You've been busy, sounds like a great trip.
    I like the blog layout, I'll have to look up how to do the separate pages for each blog or get you to tell me when you return.
