Doing stuff in Amsterdam…

So, we are getting ready to go out for our last dinner in Amsterdam.  We’ve enjoyed it here; our hotel, on the Prinsengracht Canal, has turned out well and is in a really good location, the weather has been sunny and warm and the vibe has been good.

After our visit to the Van Gough museum, we had a day where we walked in the Jordaan area near the hotel, did some shopping in the little streets near us, and that night went on a photo walk in the city ranging more widely than our immediate neighbourhood.  The following morning we were up for a food walk trying typical Dutch food in the Jordaan, and more photos late that night; today we’ve been in the Rijksmuseum for a big chunk of the day.  Have enjoyed it all!

It’s easy to be a tourist here – just stay out of the way of random cyclists!  And out of the area around Dam Square which yesterday seened to be full of hens/bucks trips intent on beer consumption!

Here are a few pics:

Westerkerk – very near our hotel. Of course we climbed it!
