…….sometimes 3 days feels like 3 weeks and after spending a couple of days in Amsterdam we feel as if we have been away for ages. Living in England is like having the keys to a very large sweet shop. Whenever we have more than a couple of days up our sleeve the big decision is “where shall we go????” Sera is now living in Holland so we decided to visit Amsterdam and catch up with her……that didn’t happen…. she went off to Spain with her employers!!! Anyway the good thing is, without that incentive, we probably would have opted for somewhere supposedly more exotic and postponed visiting one of the coolest, funkiest, easiest places to be in …40 minutes by air from here……….
We knew Amsterdam was a bit ‘naughty’ (more about that later), and we knew there were a few canals, BUT it’s gorgeous….. canals everywhere, walking is a breeze (Holland is sooooo flat), the architecture is beautiful and 37 museums (if you like that sort of thing)….we “did” the Van Gogh Museum, Riksmuseum and the rest of the time, wandered around with silly grins on our faces, trying not to get run down by cyclists (more about that later…). Everybody spoke English and was incredibly helpful…to be continued xxxxxx
