 Blurry photo but you can see how flat Holland really is by the suns reflection off river/canals in the distance. |
 Sunrise as we are flying over Holland, landing in about 5 minutes. |
 Was beautiful seeing the sunrise through the clouds. |
 Got carried away with the camera. |
 Snap happy. |
 More sun, clouds and canals. |
 It felt like you could reach out and touch the clouds. |
 More clouds |
 Coming close to land, you can see how flat it is and all the Canals. |
 At our first excursion in Amsterdam, the Van Gogh Museum. We're both not fussed about art but loved it, hence the goodies! |
 Clint in Dam Square in front of the Royal Palace. |
 With one of those 'artists' in Dam square. He wouldn't pose without pointing at his euro filled cap on the ground, hint, hint. |
 Another pretty canal with part of the Red Light District on the left. Funniest sight were 'Window for Rent' signs. |
 Nup, not Hyde Park but a park in Amsterdam. Where were the cyclists when you need them to make a photo more interesting?!? |
 The original Heineken Brewery. Conveniently located on the same road as our hotel. |
 Where the amber liquid is brewed. |
 Free beers throughout the tour. Tried to get a shot with the froth on Clints nose and 'mo', not quick enough! |
 'Yeah, yeah, yeah.....' it's Clint doing his best Larry Mullen Jnr. impersonation. |
 Clint gets stuck into another. |
 The Dutch like big heads on their beer whereas in London it's totally unthinkable... |
 'Hic, errr, no more, pleahhse, I couldn't......' |
 Jas and Min trying to get the last drop. (Passing time waiting for the cruise to begin after the Heineken Brewery tour.) |
 The houses lining the canals are ancient and just beautiful to look at. |
 Loads of boats and houseboats lined the edges of the canals. Saw quite a few sunken ones too. |
 During a canal cruise we went crazy and took loads of shots....... |
 An interesting building. |
 Amsterdam: City of Bicyles. |
 Same stall, better picture but with annoying person in the way! |
 At the Flower Market, all stalls were a mass of colour. Wanted to take it all back to London to brighten it up. |
 Jas and Min in their very own clogs. |
 The casino where we spent many happy hours (and money!). 3 floors of gaming bliss and glitzy like Burswood. |
 The bike rack (the three diagonal ramps) next to the Centraal Station, literally thousands of them! |
 Grand Centraal Station, Amsterdam. |
 More bikes....... |
 Exhausted after Amsterdam. |
