Hi! Welcome to Amsterdam.
Our names are John and Scott and we will be your guides on this fantastic trip through this fabulous city.
Amsterdam is known for their
delicious cuisine and love of
mayonnaise.
Seafood and fresh vegetables are abundant in this moist city.
The canals are lined with beautiful row houses.
The canals have many different types of boats.
Here we see ships that look as if they belong to pirates...we took these pictures from our boat bus.
The
canals and unique
architecture make everywhere you look in Amsterdam a
photographer's dream.
The boats that travel the canals are low so they can easily fit under the low bridges.
Did we mention that the people of Amsterdam love their bicycles. Along the streets there are bike paths that can be
treacherous to cross.
The winter is a great time to visit Amsterdam. It's a little chilly but there aren't many tourists.
Boats and cars contend for parking.
This is one of our favorite houses... when we win the lottery (twice) we will buy it for ourselves.
This is Robyn, she has agreed to help us on this tour.
What handsome tour guides we make.
I love the hazy winter scenes.
When the sun begins to set the streets and canals get cooler, what a great time to stop in a cafe for a
cappuccino.
No wonder so many artists find Amsterdam inspiring.
I think that's
Rembrandt's house... or maybe it was
Gaugin, Monet or Van
Goghs house?
We will now take a boat to the Rijks Museum to see a human skull with real diamonds glued all over it.
Maybe the real artists are the architects?
That concludes our first day in Amsterdam. We wait here at the doc for our boat to take us back to our hotel
...and wait.
...and take pictures.
...and wait.
Let's have some more
coffee and milk while we wait.
Here are our hosts at the Hard Rock Cafe. They are standing next to signs with their names.
Here we are posing for a picture...it's sometime hard to be so famous.
Christmas scenes were everywhere in Amsterdam this time of year, but the Santa that comes to Amsterdam looks more like a Pope.
Cafe Hans and
Grietja...the dutch love
consonants.
Our hosts John and Robyn.
Robyn and John stirring the v
ort.
Proper little dutch boy and girl.
The new
Heineken spokespersons.
Our host Scott with an itchy eye.
The
view from our hotel Window.
Just like most Europeans, the dutch love football, they have recognized
Scott's talents and have invited him to join the team...although they asked him to join the British team Manchester United.
The dutch have interesting furniture.
And they like to dance.
And drink beer.
And take
Heineken tours.
Our tour guides run into a co-worker named the same name as one of their mothers... This is Donna Duncan and Scott singing it's a small world after all.
Goodnight Amsterdam...
Thank you for being so nice to us, and showing us such a good time.
We promise someday we will return.
