Amsterdam Tour


We took a day off and rode the bus from Ijmuiden into Amsterdam and enjoyed a walking tour of the city. The canals were beautiful. We visited Anne Franks house, the botanical gardens, Van Gogh museum and the Red Light district. The most amazing thing were the bicycles. The parking garages did not have cars but instead thousands and thousands of bikes.
