Day 16: On to Amsterdam

This morning we caught a train to Amsterdam. This time it was a slower train with some annoying passengers, but it was interesting to watch the countryside.

An amazing thing about Amsterdam is the volume of bicycles!! They are everywhere and have dedicated roads and traffic signals. It is estimated that there are 600,000 bicycles in this city of less than 800,000. Unfortunately we almost got barreled over a few times because we haven't really figured out the elaborate road system yet.

We have been going pretty hard so we decided to take it easy today and we took a canal tour in a boat. I really liked it personally. Amelia and the Phils fell asleep. This confirmed that it was a relaxing choice.



We walked the city a bit and had a nice dinner with some Dutch specialities. Tomorrow will be our last vacation day before heading home!
