We have been in Amsterdam for 4 days adjusting to the time difference and seeing the city. Went to Rijks Museum, Van Gogh Museum, and the Amsterdam Hermitage. Wonderful Rembrandt, Vermeer, Matisse, Picasso, and of course, Van Gogh. We have been walking throuthout the city, exploring the cananls and parks and stopping for beers and snacks along the way. It has been a holiday, so things have been crowded. Lots of time is spent dodging bicycles, scooters, cars, trams, and buses! It has been unusually coo weatherwise, but that is good, since there has been a garbage-hauling strike. We just saw the first garbage truck beginning cleanup -- they have a lot to clean up.
This is how the Dutch stay fit:

Nice photos! Isn't Amsterdam amazing? You have to watch out more for bikes than for cars in order not to be run over. Thank you for sharing your trip with us on this blog!

Awsome pics. I love the bike. That is the only way this old body could do what you two are doing. If it were all down hill that is.

Way to go, you guys! Great smiles in the breakfast room photo. Your jet-lag remedy must've worked. The journey of 1,000 miles begins with that first step. Peace and all good! - Peter & Carrie
