Amsterdam

Thurs March 2 to Sat March 4, 2006
Ahh, the time to say goodbye always comes too quickly. Mom, Dad and I caught our flight out Thursday morning and arrived in Amsterdam that same evening.


Our hotel rooms were extremely small, and the non-smoking rooms were ones that guests had smoked in but were quickly sprayed with deodorizer! Oh well, we were in an excellent downtown location. On Friday, we opted for the Canal Bus as our mode of transport for the day. We toured the Anne Frank House, a Boat House Museum and outdoor flower market.

On Saturday, we signed up for a bus tour that stopped at a wooden shoe factory, a cheese factory, and the quaint town of Volendam. Despite the cold weather, we enjoyed ourselves immensely…however, I just couldn’t convince my mom to catch a glimpse of the Red Light District!

And that, my friends, is a taste of our trip to Kenya. It was wonderful. I highly recommend a visit!!!
