Still a few posts to go!

We got home last night after a series of flights: Amsterdam to Dubai, Dubai to Melbourne and finally the short hop home to Wellington.  And we ended as we began – the incoming plane from Auckland to Melbourne was late (fog) so a 5 ish hour stop became more like 6 1/2 hours.  A shower and clean clothes certainly made a difference tho!

We spent our last day in Amsterdam walking…and walking.  It was a lovely mild summer day so we walked back to the museum quarter and visited the small Moco Museum which had a Banksy exhibition.  After that we just enjoyed the canal quarter – the cafes were busy with tourists and locals, the shops were open for browsing and the world was in a good mood.  Our pickup for the airport came a little early so we arrived at Schipol in plenty of time.  

So here are a few shots from the Banksy exhibition at the Moco Museum…

This one is painted on a police SWAT van

A street protestor throwing…flowers!

Banksy does an interesting line in rats!

This is one of his most iconic images much reproduced

The balloons outside the Moco didn’t make much sense to us until we saw the image above!
