Well we arrived in Amsterdam on Friday and found our accommodation. Once we booked in we decided to have a look around the town. Had dinner and then decided to go for a walk around the red light district for a look. Had a bit of a laugh doing that and then went back to the motel.

Saturday we did a tour of the Heineken factory which was much better than I thought it was going to be. It was really very interesting and you got 3 free beers. Three for free!!!! We then decided to go on a canal cruise so we could see all the houses and canals and get some perspective on the city. Had a bit more of a walk around the city and then went back to the motel.

Went out to a night club at midnight and it was really a good night. Will have to elaborate the night club in person............????? But it is Amsterdam :-)

Sunday was our last day and we went to the Anne Frank house for a look, which was kind of weird knowing what happened to the people who were hiding out in there. We also went to the houseboat museum which was interesting to see how 2500 people live in Amsterdam and what they call home.

At 5.00pm we headed for Schipol Airport in Amsterdam to get our flight to London, it was 2 hours late leaving which was crap! Anyway we are right now in Singapore waiting for our connecting flight to Sydney. Not long to go now.

Will catch up with you all once we return. See you soon.
