Europe Day 25 - Amsterdam


Free day and it's raining and I shouldn't really be complaining as the only rainy days of the whole two months being away have been Switzerland and today.This morning started with a bike tour with Mikes bikes around Amsterdam, giving us the chance to travel among the canals and parks of this gorgeous city as the locals do.If you can't see me I'm the red blob under the letter 'r'

Nice Park in Museum Square


I then met back up at the hostel with my friend Alyce (Dubbo) to go and line up for Anne Frank House. The line up was 2 hours and then we spent about that time in their. I brought the book at Dachau book shop and finished just in time for our visit. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take any photos inside but it was amazing to see the size and darkness of the place and very moving when I went through the bookcase to the secret attic.

This evening, we then had a delicious farewell dinner at the local Chinese restaurant, followed by a canal cruise around the waterways of this great city, the perfect way to round off a memorable Topdeck trip.
