AMAZING AMSTERDAM!

Anne Franks house


Amsterdam at night ...The "Grasshopper" lit up in green in the background .... (a well known establishment for selling marijuana in all forms to tourists that are far more game than I obviously!)

A windmill!

One of the many canals in Amsterdam!



Typical housing in Amsterdam



I can't quite believe we are now at the end of our month long tour! This is our final night in Amsterdam and final night with the group! We enjoyed a chinese banquet and then a cruise through some of the canals in Amsterdam this evening.


Amsterdam is a lovely place (coming from a sober/un drugged perspective of course!) .... call me a boring prude, but I felt no desire at all to try marijuana here just because it is legal. I don't know why.... but I just didn't! I did have a look in one of the cafes where they sell it in varying forms and smelt it on varying occassions also .... but was quite happy to stick to a few drinks instead!

We visited Anne Franks house while here, went to a gouda cheese and clog making farm, had a bit of a look around town etc. We are all exhausted and looking forward to a holiday in Greece to recover from our tour! Which has been quite exhausting!

Tomorrow we fly to Athens where we part ways! Karan and Kathleen are heading to Santorini for a break before heading home and Darren arrives the day after tomorrow so we can head off on our cruise of the greek islands .... I can hardly wait!



As Kathleen has the laptop, and I will be spending most of my time at sea (where I may struggle to find wi fi) ..... I may not be able to update the blog until I return home with photo's from Greece!

So .... we will see you all on our return!!
