Amsterdam, Netherlands

Our next stop was Amsterdam. The city has a network of concentric semicircles that form a network of canals. We took an interesting boat tour rather than a bus tour that we have taken in most cities.

This city wins the prize for being the most bike friendly. This shows a sea of bikes outside the train station.

The architecture is distinctly Dutch with the high gable roofs with their winches for hauling up goods and furniture through the windows rather than up very narrow staircases.

The tulip fields were starting to bloom already as seen from the train on our way to Antwerp.
