A parking ticket…on a BICYCLE!
And bicycles GALORE!😱
And a few more random pretty 💕.
And lastly…a selfie😂😂.
Off to do some homework for tomorrow transport to our tour meeting place. We have to be there by 8:45, and it’s a 52 minute walk, so I’ll check Uber options to avoid getting up at zero:dark:30 😂.
It was a perfectly lovely day to explore Amsterdam…our only day, really, as we will have an all-day tour tomorrow, followed by a 7:30 pm walk-through of the home that housed Anne Frank and her family during their years in hiding. It’ll be a full day, but we are looking forward to being driven around in a coach bus to give our feet a rest! We walked roughtly 16 miles yesterday, and 17.7 today! Plus One would be hurtin’😂😂😂. No, he wouldn’t have gone along!😂 But some photos from today…
Canal crossing 😊
The local ‘Stroopwafel’ factory…The shop is upstairs, while the girls make packages downstairs 😃
We found a large outdoor market where we wandered for much of the morning, and early afternoon, since you-know-who didn’t wake up until 10:15! I had a delicious, handmade empanada for ‘brunch’, and Nettie ordered a mango-pineapple smoothie, all made with freshly cut fruit!
Another wonderful day in Europe!💕
My lands, if I could give this AirBnb a 20 star review for comfort, I would! It is charming, efficient, comfortable, and spacious, even though it is small in actual square feet. What a sound night’s rest I had! I woke up at 1 AM, Amsterdam time, concerned that I was up for the day, but I soon fell fast asleep, and the next time I saw the clock it was 10:14 AM!😂😂😂 I think that was Plus One’s challenge…when he felt wide awake at 1 AM, he would get up, make coffee, and act like his morning had begun, never to drift back to sleep again till he felt fatigue and exhaustion around 11 AM. Europe time. Not a good combination when you’re with me.😂😂
Another ‘outer edges’ view🤗
And the infamous trip hazards! None are consistently the same in measurement from the ground😂😂😂
It’s interesting how the countries have their country identification… It makes sense because if our states were different countries, we would most likely do the same.🤗💕
Today we are off to a large outdoor market, which will take us down into Amsterdam city center. There are tons of things for Nettie to see there, as I have been here once before with Kelly. I am so happy and excited to be back in beautiful Amsterdam once again!
A SEA of BIKES!😂 It’s what they do here 😂😂!
And then, just around the corner, an old, refurbished train-turned-hostel!
And before long, the canals 🤗😆🤗…
But I’ll never get used to seeing fresh eggs on a supermarket shelf! 🤔😬😳
Off to sleep now. I just cannot hold my eyes open any longer. 💕
WOW!! A historic fire/police station smack dab on a canal! And SO CHARMING! 🥹😱
And the front door view…
An amazingly fun hometel for the next three days! I will take more pictures when the sun begins to set. And the streets clear some of children. There’s a school just around the corner.💕
