Traffic was getting worse the more we ventured into Europe. Surprisingly the truck drivers were extremely courteous everywhere we went.

Now Ruth, you're sure we're in Amsterdam??
Get the road map out, satellite navigation equipment.........
Ah, that's it, we're in McDonald's.
|
Most of the streets in Amsterdam front onto a dyke or have tram tracks running down them.
|
If you look at the top of the buildings, you'll see a pulley. People still use these to winch up their furniture and belongings.
|
Amsterdam is a pretty compact city.
|
Like most of Europe, they build up not out.
|
Yep, you guessed it. Overcast again.
|
This is a small sample from the local bakery. DANGER DANGER DANGER
;-)

This is the hotel we stayed in. It was described in the guide books as 3 star. The only 3 stars you got, was when you hit your head on the low door frames.
|
3 star hotel. Nice modern decor, en suite bathroom, chocolates on your pillow. Yeah right !!! Dreams ARE free.
|
Who needs the chocolates when we found three "joints" in our bed. All rolled nicely, with filters and everything.
|
Three things are in abundance in Amsterdam, canals, push bikes and trams.
|
Now where did I see this good looking sort before?
|
Another couple of "Tommy Tourists" on the loose.
|
Here is the "Central Square" of Amsterdam.We don't know what it was called but we used it a our meeting point if we got lost.
|
Playing rubber neck again.
|
We don't know what the screen behind Fitzy was used for, but he did ask if they'd swap it for his TV.
|
We even found the Hard Rock Cafe with it's Hash Cookies.
|
Runaway, runaway. The tourist are coming, the tourist are coming.
|
I think we'll just by bypass this museum.
|
The Moo manufacturer is in Holland, but not doing to well by all accounts.
|
We were on our way to the red light district. That was an experience in itself.
