Sunday in Amsterdam

No trip to Holland would be complete without a visit to Amsterdam. While the city is not huge there is a lot to do there and we really only scratched the surface during our day-long adventure.

The two main stops for us were the Anne Frank museum and the Amsterdam Historical museum, both very good, although the history museum surely exceeded expectations. We spent the rest of the day taking a canal boat tour and a walk around the center of town. Somehow we managed to avoid the red light district and the 'window shops'.

We were all impressed with the large number of canals, generally clean streets and alleys, and the public transportation system which was fairly easy to figure out, especially after going the wrong way once or twice!
