Holiday ... Amsterdam, Netherlands



We arrived in Amsterdam to a rainy day.  We disembarked for a guided tour of the canal system.  Thankfully the canal boats were  glass-topped so the tour of the canals was in comfort.  We cruised the canals which encircled the city with a great skipper who manouevred the tight turns with great skill.  We saw many houseboats and the lovely architecture of the buildings that lined the canals - charming churches, 16th century merchant houses and 17th century homes.

















We went on a short city centre tour before heading back to the boat.
