Amsterdam, so nice to be back!

We arrived in Amsterdam on Saturday, we were greeted by the most amazing weather. We walked to our apartment from the station and the place was buzzing, people riding in boats on the canals, guys on bucks nights and a strange smell wafting from the coffee shops!

Our apartment is so lovely! It is an old canal house and we are on the bottom floor, it is sort of like a basement but we look out onto the street. There are tulips on the table and when you open the cupboards it smells like my Dutch grandmothers house! So homely!!

It has been 13 years for me and 15 years for Pete since we visited Amsterdam last. Not a lot appears to have changed and I feel quite at home here, it is such an easy city to walk around, however it is very busy, there are tourists everywhere!

This morning we woke to rain which was a shame after yesterday's glorious sun. We ventured out at 11am and eventually the rain stopped. We went for a coffee, yes a coffee, no indulging in green substances for us and I had a yummy piece of apple tart! Delicious!

We took heaps of photos around the canals, it is just so pretty!!

Tonight we had Thai food for dinner and last night we had a fabulous Indonesian meal. Yes, I know we should be having Dutch food but it is hard to find.

We are hoping tomorrow the weather will be clearer but we will have to edit and see. We have 3 more days and then it is off home for us!! Can't wait to see Mac!!
