Amsterdam pics at last...

It all started off with a very eventful journey to get there by bus. 4 busses left London at the same time and they were all late- due to Easter weekend...and snow storms and so on.


It was certainly not what I expected, but so much more...I suppose I had just a one dimensional image of the city...just with those houses stuck close together and a few canals.

This was the weekend of the Easter holidays for the catholics. But all we could think of was that it was like Christmas. It rained and snowed on us ALL the time! So much so...

..that we had to stop for a hot chocolate every half an hour...

...and we just HAD to buy new gloves!

The first day we took a boat trip on the canals...
Which was wonderful, as we had an audio guide explaining elements of architecture, etc.

Afterwards we went to Van Gogh museum- whose life impressed me a lot. When we came out it was sooo soo very cold!!!! But that didn't stop us from taking more pictures :)

That night we of course had to go see the Red Light District...

And take pictures of Mary here growing in the window...(Marijuana:P)

The next day we were just being silly all day...

Taking pictures with the jumping motive everywhere...



We met Oana and her boyfriend who live here...

Who took us to the flower market and to some secret gardens....

...and of course to a coffee shop :)

Over all this city was wonderful!

I loved its beauty and its spirit...

As well as people's attitude and trendiness...

We still have a few things left for next time..the Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank's house and the sex museum...

There WILL be a next time...hopefully soon. :) Now that a good friend is also moving there.
