Amsterdam    3, 4

Crazy city!  The home of canals, bridges, boats, bikes, great museums, the red light district and a melting pot of people from all over the world.  

It is fun wondering along the canals.

Of course there are bikes everywhere.

Our hotel, a huge Art Decor building.

Wester Kerk and Prinsengracht Canal near Anne Frank's House.

Looking through seven bridges.

Quirky sense of humour ,the Dutch!

A typical brown cafe.

One of the biblical wall plaques, with scriptural quotes and illustrations.. 

The Begijnhof is a gated community for women, founded in the middle ages. It was originally built as a sanctuary for the Begijntjes, a Catholic sisterhood who lived like nuns, although they took no monastic vows.  It includes a church as well as the oldest house in Amsterdam.
