Amsterdam, North Holland, NetherlandsACSI
Camping Het Amsteleeven
We took a
slight detour on the way to Amsterdam and had a few hours wandering around
Edam.
We parked
at the harbour (specially for motorhomes) where there was a very gaudy boat and
then walked along the canal to town. The centre was quite small but very nice
and it was Monuments day, which meant we could go in all the museums for free.
The church bells and the old house museum were particularly good and the little
streets were quaint so it was a good detour.
Today was
a shock to the system as we had to be up and out for 8am to make sure we got to
the Van Gogh museum on time. Penny set the alarm clock wrong so we were late up
which was a great start. After a long crowded tram ride we arrived just in
time. Roger and Ruth enjoyed the museum, Mark thought it was okay but Penny was
disappointed given all the other arty museums we’ve been to. After lunch at
Wagamama (very nice first experience) we went on a canal tour and that was
quite good.
Finally we
had a good old wander around little and dodgy streets, we feel we saw and smelt
everything we should have when you visit Amsterdam, so we left Central station
worn out but satisfied we’d captured Amsterdam.
