DAY ONE

Amsterdam was an interesting city to say the least, our minds have been changed forever.

We found our accommodation, a lovely house boat called Anna Maria II.  You could not swing a cat in our room, or even a kitten, they were tiny but were all we needed.

The “NZers” about to embark on a night out in Amsterdam

Later that night we went and saw the “red light” district at night, what a eye opener – no words can describe what goes on there!

DAY TWO

We were given breakfast at the hostel, cereal, selection of breads and spreads.  Sprinkles (white and dark chocolate) were also a must try.  It was like a child’s dream, fairy bread for breakfast!

After breakfast we headed out to see Amsterdam by bike. . . . . .

   This is said to be one of the most pictorist canals in Amsterdam

 

After spending greater part of the morning biking around Amsterdam it was time for a beer, and what more appropriate beer to have than a Heineken.  So off we went to the Heineken brewery for a tour and a pint or two.

Bottoms up boys!

After a couple of beers it was back on the bikes and off to Vondel Park for a look around and rest. Vondel Park – Amsterdam’s version of Central Park

 

Our last night in Amsterdam was spent exploring the city’s night life and eating the most amazing doughnuts!
