Ambling in Amsterdam

A foot of snow during our first night made Amsterdam amazingly pretty.

Canals of Amsterdam

Unfortunately, Mel caught a local superbug, meaning touristy times are suffering as we try and get her better. On our first full day did make it to Anne Frank Huis. Amazing well done, very much worth while. On the second day we invested in a tram daypass to limit Mels exposure to the elements. Had a walk through the canals and side streets around the centre of town before visiting the Heineken brewery for some branding and propoganda, made worthwhile with free beers. Finally, we made a quick wander through the infamous 'red light district'. Brings new meaning to the term 'window shopping'...



So many bikes


Houseboats

Currently at train station. Trying to get to Cologne by train with minimal success. Turns out a foot of snow is bad for high-speed trains.
