Yesterday we arrived in Amsterdam at 5am Friday which is US east coast time of 11pm Thursday. After hopping a train and then walking a mile on cobblestone streets with our luggage we made it to the hotel and had to sit and wait for a room for several hours because the cleaning crew did not arrive until 8am.
After catching a few hour nap we walked around and viewed the shops near the canal. We ducked into a nearby pub when it started to rain and we watched the large amount of cyclists riding the streets holding their umbrellas while riding. Many had small children either on the front or back of their bikes and some had dogs in baskets. I hope to catch some shots of the bikers today as we head toward some of the museum’s. Amsterdam is the cycling capital of the world. More pictures to come soon.
One more day of beautiful Amsterdam, then on to Helsinki Finland early tomorrow. I am having some problems downloading some of my photos so stay tuned.
Great pictures
