Our first hours in Amsterdam: we wandered around the museum district and toured the Rijkes Museum (pictured behind us.) In the afternoon, we split up for a bit. Ben and I walked toward the Central Station following a RIck Steve's walking tour.
The canals are beautiful and bicycles-the sheer number breathtaking. Tall skinny buildings facing the canals. Blooming flowers spilling out of window boxes-geraniums are VERY popular. The flower district didn't disappoint. Tulip bulbs, amaryllis and hyacinth bulbs astonishing in quantity and variety.
The four of us met up again for a canal tour via boat. A duck's eye view of the city. Amazing and so cool. A great way to get an overview of the city!
Such pretty postcard worthy photos! I wonder if we lived there we would be awed by the ambience?
